Title:* Spicy Corn Fritters*
Keywords: vegan, chiles, snacks, veggies

*Dipping Sauce:*
3/4 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
 1 1/2 teaspoons red chile flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 large clove garlic, minced
*
Fritters:*
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup water
2 cups fresh or defrosted white corn (ab't  3  lg. cobs' worth)
4 large green onions, finely sliced 
1/4 cup chopped cilantro or parsley
Grapeseed, canola, or peanut oil (a high-smoke-point oil) for frying
2 to 6 serrano chiles, seeded and finely chopped, or to taste

Combining all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook on medium heat,
stirring with a wooden spoon, until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to 
medium
high, and let boil for 5-10 minutes or so, until the mixture becomes 
somewhat
syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool. The sauce should continue to thicken
as it cools. If it becomes too thick, add a little water.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, coriander and cumin in a
medium-sized  bowl. Add egg, lemon juice and water. Stir vigorously
with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add corn, onions, and herbs.  Stir
until just combined.

Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add enough oil to
coat the bottom of the pan generously . When oil is hot  but not smoking,
 spoon in about 2 heaping Tablespoons of  batter, patting it down with
the back of the spoon immediately.  That's one fritter.  As you make more,
leave about 1/2 inch between them. Let  cook about 2-3 minutes on each
side, turning when nicely  browned on one side.  When browned on the
other side, remove to a  plate lined with paper towels.  Put plate  in a
warm oven if it will take more than two batches to use up the batter.

Add oil as needed to keep bottom of pan well coated for further batches.
NOTE: These splatter a bit, so use a screen-type splatter guard if you cook
nekkid.  Trust me on this. :). 

Makes approximately 16 fritters. Serve at least warm, with dipping sauce.
