Easy prep, less cook time & delicious
With fresh corn in the house, this weekend snack had to be “corny” 🙂 These cutlets are very basic as they are essentially shallow fried corn-potato patties. I added some regular spices along with onions & fresh coriander leaves. The ingredients are universal and you can play with the locally available spices. The preparation is simple as both the corn & potato can be cooked together in a cooker. The potato can be mashed completely. But to have some texture, I didn’t cook the potato completely to a mash. Instead half cooked and then grated the potato. These cutlets can also be used as burger patties or even sandwich stuffing.

Corn Cutlet Recipe
The cooking tools: Pressure cooker, food processor & pan
Ingredients
- Corn Cob: 1
- Potato: 1
- Onion: 1
- Chopped Fresh Coriander: 1 tsp
- Lime Juice: 2 tsp
- Red Chili Powder: 1 tsp
- Turmeric Powder: 1/4 tsp
- Coriander Powder: 1 tsp
- Ginger-garlic paste: 1/2 tsp (option)
- Bread crumbs: 2 tbsp
- Salt
- Oil for shallow frying
Preparation
- Remove the outer skin of the corn cob & place it in a pressure cooker with a potato
- Add half a cup of water & pressure cook. One whistle or till the corn kernels becomes soft
- Run a knife along the corn cob to remove the kernels
- Grind the corn kernels into a coarse paste
- Peel the skin of the potato & grate it
- Chop the onion into fine pieces
Here we go:
- Mix the corn paste & the grated potato along with the rest of the ingredients (except the oil)
- Shape the corn mix into patties & keep them aside
- Heat oil in a pan for shallow frying
- Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat and fry the patties in batches
- Fry for about 2 mins on medium heat & flip it so that it is fried on the other side too
- Pour some more oil if needed or if the patties have to be more crispier
- Once cooked evenly, remove the cutlets from the pan. Repeat the same with the rest of the corn mix
Alternate Ingredients:
- Pepper powder can be used instead of red chili powder
- Processed/Frozen corn can be used along
