FRESH CORN FRITTERS (SOUTHEAST ASIA)

Steps:

• Roast the whole chiles in a dry skillet until lightly charred all over, then cool, peel, stem & seed.
• In a food processor combine the chile with the red pepper flakes & 2 cups of the corn, processing for a minute or until quite smooth, stopping the machine to scrape down the sides if necessary.
• Combine this puree with the whole corn kernels, egg, flour, spices, cilantro & season with salt & pepper. The mixture should hold together when you clump it, but if it doesn't add a little more flour.
• Put at least 2 inches of oil in a deep saucepan or skillet & heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F or until a pinch of flour dropped into it sizzles.
• Use a spoon or your hands to form the batter into golf-ball-size (or smaller) fritters, & gently slide them into the oil. Fry about 4 minutes or until golden brown, turning once.
• Serve & ENJOY!
