Main

1.Place flour in a bowl and season generously to taste. Add egg and 150ml iced water, whisk until smooth and set aside.

2.For jalapeño and coriander salsa, combine ingredients in a bowl, season to taste and set aside.

3.Preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 190C. Add corn to batter, stir to combine, then carefully slide tablespoons of batter into oil (be careful as hot oil may spit). Deep-fry in batches, turning occasionally, until puffed and golden (2-3 minutes). Drain on absorbent paper and serve warm with salsa.
