A delicious and spicy Christmas side!
What you'll need:

- Plain flour
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tsp parsley, finely chopped
- 3 tsp garlic, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
- Put required amount of oil in a deep-fryer and heat until 190 C. Alternative, pour the oil into a pot and heat it up.
- Whisk the egg whites in a bowl until it is frothy and turns into a pale-coloured foam.
- Place cooked corn into the egg white and toss well.
- Lightly dust each block of corn with plain flour.
- When the oil is hot, deep-dry the corn in two to three batches, for two to three minutes each, until the batter turns golden brown.
- While the corn is frying, mix the paprika, chilli flakes, salt, parsley, and garlic in a clean bowl. Add the softened butter and stir.
- When the corn is done, drain then toss it in the spiced butter mixture.
