Anybody for some Corn Chili Bites on this dreary Saturday afternoon? Bought a box of the Chili Bite mix last week. This my first attempt.
Ingredients:
4 sweetcorn
Chopped mint,
lettuce,
onions,
1tsp fennel seeds
2 tsp hot paprika
1 box chili bite mix
A squeeze of lemon juice

Salt to taste
Method:
Boil sweet corn till tender.
Allow to cool Using sharp knife, slice sweet corn from the husk into a bowl.
Canned drained kernels can also be used.
Add remaining ingredients.
Add enough cold water to all the above to make a batter.
Add tablespoon full to deep hot oil and fry till golden.

This looks yum. What’s in the chili bite mix? We don’t have it in NZ but could possibly recreate if knew the ingress. Thanks 🙏🏾
Ali, I know this is a SA Product, and as I am not in SA either, I am in Canada, I will try to ask Melanie if she will be able to provide me some more information and then I will pass it over to you.
BTW. Thanks for following. I checked out your blog, and am following you as well.
