Ingredients

• 2 ears Corn kernels (Kernels cut from the ears)
• 1 Vegan egg equivalent (The author uses one 3 Tbsp cube of DIY Eggs From Plants; alternatively, Eggs From Plants may be used)
• 0.333 cup Cornmeal
• 2.5 tbsp Flour
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Olive oil (For the fritter mixture)
• 2.5 tbsp Olive oil (For the pan; source specifies 2–3 Tbsp)
• Salsa (To serve)
• 1 cup Split dried yellow moong dal (For the optional DIY Eggs From Plants; blend with the ingredients below)
• 1.333 cup Water (For the optional DIY Eggs From Plants)
• 1 tsp Tapioca (For the optional DIY Eggs From Plants)
• 2 tbsp Nutritional yeast (For the optional DIY Eggs From Plants)
• 1 tsp Baking powder (For the optional DIY Eggs From Plants)
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder (For the optional DIY Eggs From Plants; the author may omit it when using the mixture for sweet baking)

• 0.5 tsp Salt (Optional, for the DIY Eggs From Plants; kala namak may be used instead)
• 0.5 tsp Kala namak (Optional alternative to the additional salt in DIY Eggs From Plants)

Steps

1. 1

   If making the DIY Eggs From Plants, combine the split dried yellow moong dal, water, tapioca, nutritional yeast, baking powder, onion powder, and turmeric in a blender. Add either the optional salt or kala namak, if desired.

2. 2

   Blend the DIY egg mixture for a couple of minutes. The author freezes it in 3 Tbsp cubes, with each cube equivalent to one egg.

3. 3

   Combine the corn kernels, one egg equivalent, cornmeal, flour, 1/4 tsp salt, and 2 Tbsp olive oil well.

4. 4

   Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, then add 2–3 Tbsp olive oil.

5. 5

   Scoop about 1/4 cup or a little more of the mixture per fritter into the pan, flattening each fritter in the pan.

6. 6

   Cook the fritters until browned on each side.

7. 7

   Serve with salsa. The author also mentions homemade pico de gallo as an accompaniment.

Notes

The post does not specify a yield, fritter cooking time, or detailed directions for thawing the frozen DIY egg cubes. For the fritters, use one 3 Tbsp cube of the prepared mixture as one egg equivalent.
