Corn patties/Corn cutlets

Corn patties are another amazing monsoon snacks.They are very delicious and nutritious. Corn patties are made using potato and corn kernels as main ingredients. The addition of spices completely depends on individual choice and availability. Potatoes are boiled and mashed. Boiled corn is ground and mixed with mashed potatoes. For binding the patties, corn flour is used. I’ve added crushed almonds for additional nutrition. The patties are shallow fried and served hot. Here I present easy, plain and yummy evening snacks for the kids. Njoy Cooking, Serving n Savoring!
