- Batter
- Place all of the dry ingredients in a big bowl then give it a quick stir. Next, make a well in the middle and crack in the eggs. Slowly start to mix, adding in water little by little until it's mixed into a thin and runny batter. Note: If it's too thick, you won't get that satisfying crunch, so thinner is definitely better.
- Oil
- Now heat up the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok. You’ll know the oil is hot enough when bubbles appear around a toothpick dipped in the oil.
- Fry
- Drop a ladleful of batter into the hot oil (carefully!) and fry until the batter turns a mouth-watering golden brown, about 2-3 minutes each side. Feel free to deep-fry a few fritters at a time if you have the space.
- Drain
- When fritters are cooked, scoop them out of the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towel. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Keep cooking until all the batter has been used up.
- Serve hot and crispy with tomato sauce, chilli sauce or kecap manis.

- Make the batter: sieve the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add the egg, milk and minced garlic and whisk together by hand until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
- Finely chop the chilli and add to the batter. Then finely chop the spring onions and shallot, and cook them in some oil for about 2 minutes. Then add them to the batter.
- Sieve and rinse the corn kernels and add them and a splash of olive oil to the batter and mix well.
- Heat some olive oil in a skillet and keep on a low to medium heat. Add some of the corn/batter mix to the pan in a circular shape (use a spoon to form the shape).
- The batter will soon solidify and form the patty. Let it cook for about 2 minutes and turn over and fry the other side.
- Push down regularly on the mix to ensure the batter cooks properly. Make sure the batter is fully cooked before removing from the pan.
- Make a simple yoghurt dip by adding some finely chopped cilantro, chilli and paprika powder to some Greek-style yoghurt.
Indonesian Corn Fritters (Bakwan Jagung)
Delightfully crispy, savory-sweet, and perfectly seasoned by our proprietary Turmeric Gold spice blend, our recipe for the wildly popular street food known as Indonesian Corn Fritters (Bakwan Jagung) makes the perfect summer side or snack. Corn is at its peak of freshness during the summer months and the kernels are plump and sweet which make the best recipes. Ensure that you choose corn cobs that are bright yellow in color, free from holes and bruises. If using fresh corn, remove the kernels by standing the corn upright inside a large mixing bowl then slice the kernels off for less mess. These savory corn fritters are easy to whip up and are filled with fresh scallion and a kiss of Indonesian flair. Turmeric is an essential ingredient in Southeast Asian, Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine and for centuries turmeric has been adored for its medicinal and healing properties, such as healing skin irritations and upper respiratory tract problems. More recently, turmeric has made its way into the “superfood” lineup with claims ranging from fighting cancer to easing depression. Apart from its myriad of health benefits turmeric has an earthy flavor with a warm, yellow-orange glow that adds a distinctive yet subtle flavor to any dish. We created the Turmeric Gold blend to add more exotic Southeast Asian flavor of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and fenugreek to complement earthy Turmeric. Use Turmeric Gold blend in any recipe calling for turmeric to add a well-balanced and delicious savory-warming-earthy flavor.
