Prepare the corn:
Boil the sweet corn kernels and allow them to cool to room temperature. Coarsely grind them in an electric chopper or blender.

Sauté the corn:
Heat a pan and add butter. Once melted, add green chillies and sauté for a few seconds. Add the coarsely ground corn and sauté for 2 minutes.

Add vegetables:
Add chopped shallots, grated carrot, green bell pepper and red bell pepper. Sauté for another 2 minutes.

Season:
Add white pepper powder and salt. Mix well and sauté briefly.

Make the dough:
Add grated paneer, breadcrumbs and chopped coriander. Mix well to form a soft, bindable dough.

Shape the bites:
Grease your hands lightly with oil and shape the mixture into 22 bite-sized portions.

Prepare the slurry:
Mix cornflour, chilli flakes, mixed seasoning and water to make a smooth, lump-free slurry.

Coat:
Dip each bite into the cornflour slurry and coat evenly with breadcrumbs.

Cook in an appe pan:
Heat an appe pan and add a few drops of olive oil into each cavity. Place the coated bites and cook, turning gently, until golden and crisp on all sides.

Alternative shapes & cooking methods:
You can also shape the mixture into cutlets/tikkis and shallow-fry them using oil or ghee, or cook them in an air fryer until golden and crisp.

Serve:
Serve hot with hot & sweet tomato chilli sauce. They are delicious even without any accompaniment! 😋
