### Corn Pakora Recipe
#### Ingredients:
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Salt to taste
- Water as needed
- Oil for deep frying
#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Batter:**
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add water while stirring to make a thick, smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps.
2. **Add Vegetables:**
- Add the corn kernels, chopped onion, green chilies, and fresh coriander leaves to the batter. Mix well to evenly coat the vegetables with the batter.
3. **Heat the Oil:**
- In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready for frying.
4. **Fry the Pakoras:**
- Using a spoon or your fingers, carefully drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the pakoras in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per batch. Flip them occasionally for even cooking.
5. **Drain and Serve:**
- Remove the pakoras with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
- Serve hot with tangy tamarind chutney or mint yogurt dip.
Enjoy your crispy and flavorful corn pakoras!
