Fritters are meant to be eaten at any time of the day; especially during monsoon. And I do full justice to them by munching them all day long whenever I’m at home. I prefer weekends for these kinds of spicy activities. On last weekend when my ‘Boondi Laddu’ making was on full swing I made few corn fritters to balance the sweetness in my blood.
Mostly I prefer fritters during Monsoon; Summer is too hot to prepare fritters and Winter is too lazy to move. We enjoy monsoon only for 2 months here in western part of India. On last weekend when I saw “That cold black cloud is coming’ down” I truly felt like “I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door”. Rain, cold breeze are perfect complement for fritters.
My favorite fritters are Onion fretters, Banana fritters, Chicken fritters which I try most of the time. They are quick efficient and satisfying. This time I wanted to try something different; non desi style. I chose this Mexican Corn Fritters which has the spicy tangy chili tomato salsa sauce, sweet corn, freshness of coriander and the heat quotient from jalapeno. All in one a garden fritter.

Form 4-5 pattie at a time on the pan leaving 1 inch space between. If you have a larger pan, make more at a time. But make sure not to over crowd the pan. Fry the patties until both sides are nicely browned. Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towel to get rid of excess oil.
