Sweet Corn Tikki Patties Recipe /Corn Cutlet /Sweet Corn Croquette

                           My memories with sweet corn. I got to know about sweet corn only when I started my career. My native being downtown of Tamilnadu, I found it to be surprising to see the sweet corn stalls in most of the places in Chennai. I was very eager to taste it and got a cup of hot american sweet corn from a stall in Besant Nagar Beach. The taste was good, yet not to my level of expectation (being a fan of spicy food). But still I will get hot sweet corn for my small cousin brother.

                   In the recent past I went for an exhibition in my hometown. And to my surprise I found the sweet corn stalls (even in my town). Once again kids enjoying these sweet corns. Sweet corn falls under the category of kids. But still I really wanted to try something new but spicy, and ended up with these spicy sweet corn cutlet or tikkis. One more good thing about these tikkis is tawa fry is enough, no need of deep frying. So oil conscious too can have it.
