Thai Corn Fritters Recipe (Tod Man Khao Pod)


Tod Man Khao Pod, which actually translates to ‘Fried Corn Fritters’ in English is a vegetarian-friendly variation of traditional Thai fish cakes or ‘Tod Man Plaa’. Served with Thai sweet chilli sauce, corn fritters are a popular street food snack in Thailand during summer, and so street vendors often make them in large batches. Using typical Thai or Asian pantry ingredients, Thai corn fritters are simple to make, combining cooked corn, red curry paste, kaffir lime leaves and flour into small patties which are then deep fried in cooking oil.

There is the option to use different types of corn for this recipe, from fresh to frozen. However, canned sweetcorn is usually the best option. That’s because it’s already portioned, cooked and ready to use in the recipe. Frozen corn would have to be thoroughly defrosted and then cooked before preparing this recipe. While Thai corn fritters are comparable to Thai fish cakes, the key difference with these corn fritters is in their elasticity. They are more firm and crispy in texture with a delicious sweet taste.
