Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen, drained if canned)
  • 1 cup grated cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
  • 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1–2 green chilies, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (coriander or parsley), finely chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Oil for frying (neutral oil with high smoke point)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base Mixture: Boil and mash the potatoes until smooth. In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes with sweet corn kernels, grated cheese, chopped onions, green chilies, and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper, mixing thoroughly to form a uniform mixture.
  2. Form the Patties: Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into round, flat patties ensuring they are compact to hold shape while frying. For stuffed patties, place a small cube of cheese in the center and seal carefully.
  3. Coat the Patties: Spread breadcrumbs on a shallow plate. Evenly coat each patty with breadcrumbs on all sides, pressing lightly so they stick well to achieve a crispy texture.
  4. Fry Until Golden and Crispy: Heat oil over medium heat in a skillet. Fry patties in batches, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Drain cooked patties on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  5. Serve Warm: Serve the crispy corn cheese patties hot with your favorite dipping sauces or chutneys for the best flavor and crunch.

Notes

  • Use dry corn kernels to prevent soggy patties.
  • Chill shaped patties in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before frying to help them hold their shape better.
  • Make patties consistent in size for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the frying pan to maintain oil temperature and crispiness.
  • Use medium heat to avoid burning or oily patties.
  • Mozzarella cheese melts smoothly for gooey centers; cheddar adds a sharper flavor.
