Corn fitters are originally Native American cuisine but very popular in India also, specially in rainy season when fresh corn harvested in Northam western part of India. At our place, we used to prepare various recipes using fresh corn (Known as Bhutta in Hindi). The most popular use is fresh roasted corn. Hot roasted corn in cool rainy season is a favourite of almost anybody here.
Generally, spicy corn fritters are popular, but here today I prepared sweet fritters dipped in sugar syrup. Procedure is almost the same, only ingredients are different.
