Vadai is one of the favorite snack for many especially for Indians all over the globe. Deep fried snack serve with chutney or as it own mostly found in Indian households. Instead the ordinary dhal vadai i decided to make sweet corn vadai to serve my little girls for tea time snack. The added amchoor powder add the right balance of tangyness to the batter. The cumin seeds that you got in every bite enhance the flavor.
I made my version of corn vadai using frozen sweet corn kernels but if you have fresh kernels might as well go ahead with it. I was too lazy to remove the kernels from the cob and came up with a short cut version with frozen kernels which works as good as the the fresh corn. The corn vadai was a hit among my girls.
