Cover the bowl and let the mixture rest in the fridge for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the flour to hydrate.

While the mixture is resting, heat a generous amount of oil in a skillet over medium to high heat. You'll need enough oil to shallow fry the fritters.

Once the oil is hot, carefully place spoonfuls of the sweetcorn paneer mixture into the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon to form fritters.
