original recipe from tasty-indonesian-food

Ingredients

- 150 gram canned corn

- 1 egg

- 50 gram plain flour

- 1 stalk of celery

- 1 stalk of spring onion

Spice Paste

- 3 shallots

- 2 cloves of garlic

- 2 red chillies

- 2 bird's eyes chillies (optional)

- 1 tablespoon of coriander

- 1 cm Kaempferia galanga L (kencur) - optional

- 1 kaffir lime leaf

- salt and sugar to taste

Directions

1. Blend or grind all the ingredients for spice paste. Then add the corn, and continue blending (grinding). I like to grind the corn roughly, not so smooth.

2. Put the mixture into a bowl, and then add the flour, celery, spring onion and egg. Mix it well.

3. Heat the oil in deep wok, and fry 1 tablespoon of mixture until slightly brown.

Tips : you can add some fresh small prawn into the mixture to give it more flavour.

Vie's Result :

 while frying... (that was my housemate's hand, that's why I could take the picture!)

Vie's Notes : Put in more sugar inside the mixture if you like it sweet.. But if you like it salty, then don't. Don't fry the fried corn/bakwan jagung in a really hot heat to avoid burning.
