Hi Sir,
In Corn Nut Processing we follow below step,
Step 1 . Soaking of dent corn in water for 20 hours with the ratio of 1:5 w/v ( Corn ; water) during the duration we change the water twice.
Step 2 : rinse the corn with fresh water
step 3 : rinsed corn kept for 72 hour in dark area putting in cloth for sprouting
step 4: again rinsed with water
step 5: fried in corn oil at 185 degree Celsius for 3 - 5 minute.
in both the time duration corn kernels became hard its chewable but with the reference of controlled sample it highly un acceptable.
Please suggest

Anyway
There are two options possible .
A. air dry it to remove surface moisture, then deep fry till done.
B.Double frying.Fry at 150C to reduce moisture 2 to 3 min ,then drain and fry at 180 to 190 C for 2 minutes to allow it to cook more and soften.

There are special corn used by some manufacturers that have bigger kernels, but generally dent corn is the most available.
Maybe you are using flint corn which display the effect you mentioned.?
