Thot Mann Khao Foto

Hailing from Thailand, thot man khao phot is a deep-fried corn fritter that is made with a mixture based on sweet corn kernels, ground pork or shrimp, rice flour, and eggs. The corn fritters are typically enhanced with Thai red curry paste, kaffir lime leaves, and light soy sauce, and they often contain sliced yard-long beans. There are also vegetarian versions of this dish that omit the addition of meat and use tofu instead. Crispy on the outside and with a chewy bite, these corn fritters are usually served as appetizers or snacks, paired with fresh tomato and cucumber slices and a dipping sauce on the side, such as sweet chili sauce or sweet-and-sour sauce with cucumber slices and crushed roasted peanuts.
