Spicy Masala Corn Flour Fritters

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, garam masala, baking powder, and asafoetida. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.

2.Gradually add water to the dry mixture while stirring to form a smooth, thick batter. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape when dropped into oil.

3.Add the chopped onions, green chilies, and coriander leaves to the batter. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the batter.

4.Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

5.Once the oil is ready, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

6.Using a slotted spoon, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7.Serve the spicy masala corn flour fritters hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
