sweet corn croquettes

Well this recipe has been pending for a long time now and was lying drafted in my inbox. By this time when I am actually sharing it on my blog I have made it a couple of times and that too with variations! But this is quite a simple recipe. I am sure once you try it you will play around with the ingredients replacing one for other like using banana for potato, tofu for paneer so on and so forth!
I cooked these in air fryer but you can also bake them in oven (180C) for around 30 minutes turning them around mid way, shallow fry in pan or ofcourse deep fry which I would not recommend. 

So here it goes.

Ingredients:

1.5 cup sweetcorn - I used 1 and half from corn cob

2 medium sized potatoes 

50 grams paneer/cottage cheese 

salt

1 tablespoon oil

ginger garlic paste- 1 tablespoon 

grated cheese - 2 tablespoon 

breadcrumbs- from 2 breads (wholewheat)

1 tablespoon cornstarch 

Recipe:

Boil sweet corn for around 7-8 minutes in microwave or gas stove with salt. Drain and keep aside. Boil the potatoes, you can use the water left from drained corns.

crush the corns using flat knife or churn them in mixer . Do not coarse fine but keep them chunky. Mash the potatoes in a bowl and add corn to them. Add salt, paneer and cheese and mix everything together with hands. potatoes will help everything to bind together. Mix 1 tablespoon cornflour to 4 tablespoon water . stor it well to ensure corn starch doesn't settle down at bottom. Take the breadcrumbs in a playe. I made crumbs from whole wheat bread by toasting it in oven at 200C for 8 mintues. Other way is to keep bread slices uncovered in fridge overnight to dryout. It takes a little longer. once bread is hard just grind in mixer . 

Shape the corn mixture in oval/cylinder shape or any orher shape ypu wish to.  Dip in cornflour water paste and rollover crumbs. It should be completely covered in crumbs. Make all of them ready. You  can now either bake them in preheated oven at 180C for 20 minutes or fry in air fryer for around same time. Dont forget to brush them with oil. Keep an eye on them so that they don't turn too brown. they will become crisp from outside but will be soft inside. enjoy hot with mayonnaise!
