Dadar jagung - Corn cakes
Cooking time: 20 min. / 6 min.Difficulty: easy
One of my most favorite Indonesian dishes. Great combination of sweet corn with garlic and kaffir lime leaves.
Process
Remove corn seeds from the cob. In Indonesia they simply cut it off by knife, leaving the very bottoms on the cob. Crash seeds lightly in the mortar. Do not mash them completely, leave them rough and than put to a dish.
Crush in mortar or in a blender, adding one by one, these ingredients: shallots, garlic, pepper torn on smaller pieces, kaffir lime leaves torn on smaller pieces.
Add the mix to corn, add flour, eggs and salt to taste. Mix properly.
Create cakes of the mix and fry from both sides shortly on mild fire until they reach golden color. Level of oil should reach to the top of cakes.
Serve with othere Indonesian dishes and rice.
