Crispy corn is a spicy, crisp, delicious fried snack of corn that is quite popular back home. Corn kernels are fried till crispy and then coated with a few spices. A drizzle of lime /lemon takes this dish to another level. The absolute barbecue inspires this appetizer /snack and is perfect for a game day, an after-school snack, or a party at home.
Can we make this healthy?
Absolutely. We can make this relatively healthy by changing the cooking method. Instead of frying air - fry the corn kernels, or bake them. It will be delicious but, of course, will be a little different in texture.
What type of corn we use?
I prefer canned sweet corn for this recipe; however, you can use frozen or fresh sweet corn. I suggest dipping frozen corn in hot water for 5 minutes to improve the texture. Sometimes frozen corn sold in India needs to boil for a few minutes. So check your package for cooking instructions before you start cooking.

Tips for making perfect Crispy Corn,
Coat the corn perfectly. That means we need to have a thick coating of the flour mixture. Without the thick layer, your corn won’t be very crispy. The oil must be hot. If your oil isn’t hot, it will make corn oily and mushy. Do not fry a lot at one time. Do it in batches. Fry corn very carefully. Corn tends to flutter when dropped in oil. So take extra precautions to protect your hands, face, and body.
