Well i did not puree it. I enquired coz u had to use lots of flour. Also I have met people who dont like biting sweetcorns as the skin would stick to their teeth, in such cases pureed sweetcorn is an option.<BR/><BR/>But did u like the taste of the pakoras when u made it? Hey u can try with finely chopped cabbage instead of sweetcorns. Actually i replaced cabbage with sweetcorns in my recipe. Cabbage pakoras also tastes delicious. Again when u use fresh cabbage/ sweetcorn , u need to add some water to make flour bind with veggies. But i havent tried baking cabbage pakoras. If u want u can experiment. I have a cabbage at home , will try it soon.<BR/><BR/>CheersVarsha Prabhuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430207811664755543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909106528507920303.post-60009336799103877922009-02-22T09:57:00.000-08:002009-02-22T09:57:00.000-08:00Hi Varsha, we used regular frozen sweet corn kerne...Hi Varsha, we used regular frozen sweet corn kernels (from corn on the cob). Is that the same type of corn that you used? <BR/><BR/>We did not puree it; just used the whole kernels. Is pureeing it something that you did when you originally made it, or is that a suggestion for future? Seems like pureeing it would increase the amount of liquid (and need for flour).<BR/><BR/>It's interesting to see the difference name for foods! For example, some also call chickpeas as 'garbanzo' beans.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608297080993545008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909106528507920303.post-45766664575007806202009-02-22T07:50:00.000-08:002009-02-22T07:50:00.000-08:00Hello TammyThank u for trying my recipe. As u said...Hello Tammy<BR/><BR/>Thank u for trying my recipe. As u said, I have changed the flour from gram to chickpea flour. In india we call it gram flour and u can get these in Indian shops as gram flour, but as u said I shud have mentioned as chickpea flour also. <BR/><BR/>Well I am quiet sure the amount was 1-2 tbsp coz the amount of water left after defrosting the sweetcorn was about 1 tbsp . If u were using fresh corns then u jusy need to add 2 tbsp water so as to bind the flour. <BR/><BR/>Did u puree the sweetcorns?Varsha Prabhuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430207811664755543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909106528507920303.post-76111057582132462232009-02-22T07:44:00.000-08:002009-02-22T07:44:00.000-08:00Hello Kate Thank u for trying this recipe.

Can you confirm the flour measurement?<BR/><BR/>For others interested in making this, and unsure of what gram flour is -- via wikipedia, I found that gram flour is made from channa dal which is another name for chickpeas .. so look for "chickpea flour" at your local natural food store ..<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing this -- it has definitely inspired us to try again (still have more chickpea flour ..)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608297080993545008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909106528507920303.post-57384764226637792072009-02-14T13:08:00.000-08:002009-02-14T13:08:00.000-08:00Thanks to everyone who voted for me.
