What is Crispy Cheesy Corn All About?

Crispy Cheesy Corn is that golden snack where corn kernels coated with a minimal batter fry into a crispy texture and tossed with cheddar cheese and spices—crunchy from the outside and soft from inside, every mouthful has a cheesy punch. It’s like comfort food with a street style twist.

Ingredients

For the Corn

2 cups sweet corn (boiled or frozen, thawed)
½ cup cornflour (or cornstarch)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
Water as needed

For Flavor & Topping

1 teaspoon chili powder or paprika
½ teaspoon chaat masala (optional, for a tangy kick)
½ cup grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella works best)
Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)
Oil for frying

Instructions

Dry the corn – Pat the corn dry using a paper towel to ensure that the batter sticks perfectly.
Prepare your batter – Cornflour, all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper should all be included in a bowl, then water should be measured and added until an even coating batter is formed.
Coat the corn – Add corn kernels to the batter and toss thoroughly until they get well coated.
Fry crispiness – Add the oil into a pan and fry the batter-coated corn in batches until golden and with crunchy bubbles. Drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Flavor – Toss immediately while still hot on a plate with chili powder, chaat masala, and grated cheese.
Garnish and serve – with coriander sprinkled on it, serve immediately.

Storage Tips

Fresh is the best way to consume it, although a single day in the fridge in an airtight container will keep leftovers.
To regain the crunchiness, reheat in an air fryer or oven. Never reheat in the microwave, as it makes the corn soggy.
