Bakwan Jagung is a type of deep-fried fritter made primarily from sweet corn kernels, combined with a spiced flour batter and an assortment of chopped vegetables and herbs. The name comes from “bakwan,” which typically refers to fried batter-based snacks, and “jagung,” the Indonesian word for corn.

It’s commonly served as a street food, a side dish in home-cooked meals, or an appetizer in restaurants. It has a golden-brown, crunchy exterior with a tender, flavorful interior filled with bursts of sweet corn and aromatic spices.
