• 4 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour (about 60 g)
• 1/4 cup of yellow corn flour (about 30 g)
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder (about 4 g)
• 1 large egg

Method

1. Heat a large fry pan over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil.
2. Add the finely chopped onion and roughly chopped garlic to the pan and sauté until the onions are slightly translucent.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, corn flour, and baking powder.
4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, crack in the large egg, and whisk it in.
5. Add the milk gradually and whisk until a smooth batter forms.
6. Mix the sautéed onions and garlic, drained corn kernels, grated cheese, chopped chives, salt, and pepper into the batter.
7. Adjust the batter consistency with more milk if too thick or thin.
8. Heat a fry pan with some oil, then spoon batter into the pan to form fritters.
9. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
10. Serve the fritters with a spicy yogurt sauce.
