THAI FRIED CORN FRITTERS

Thai Fried Corn Fritters aka Khao-pode Tod Song-krueng in Thai.  Really no idea how to pronounce it in Thai but does not matter.  Important is, these are tasty and delicious to eat.

Frankly speaking, it is tasty good, fragrant, sweet savoury and crunchy.  You would not notice that there is meat in it.

Moreover, it is easy to prepare.  The original recipe uses deep-fry method but  I pan fry as I didn't want to waste too much oil for deep frying.

The coriander roots and garlic can be pounded instead of finely chopped.

Recipe adapted from Healthy and Easy Thai Cooking [my this month's selected cookbook for Cookbook Countdown Event #9]
