I usually prepare boorelu with Field corns which are available during monsoon season in Andhra and Telangana regions. But this year I didn’t find them anywhere.so I prepared them with sweet corns.this sweet corn boorelu turned out very tasty.
sweet corn kernels contain more moisture than the Field corn kernels.so I had to use rice flour to thicken the batter.Otherwise, rice flour is not required to prepare mokkajonna/corn boorelu.100 to 120 grams of jaggery is enough if you are using sweet corn. do not add water while grinding the corn kernels.If you fry them on high heat they quickly turn into black because of jaggery.so fry on medium heat to get nice brownish color. they will be fresh up to 2-3 days at cold temperatures. enjoy cooking and enjoy the beautiful rains 🙂
