There are very few things I haven't done with corn, and these pakoras are one of the yummiest, easiest things I make – they're a quick snack I like to whip up when I'm having people over or wanna do something different for breakfast. When I'm not on a budget, I like to serve these with crispy honeyed bacon and roasted cherry tomatoes and maybe a poached egg if I'm feeling extra fancy.
