How to make Crispy Corn Fritters with a Zesty Cilantro-Lime Dip
Corn Fritters
Combine the corn kernels, flour, cornmeal, green onions, baking powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Add the beaten egg and milk until the mixture forms a thick batter.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Drop spoonfuls of the corn batter into the skillet, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon.
Fry on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Cilantro-Lime Dip
In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve chilled alongside the corn fritters.
