Many people use cream style sweet corn, but some how I don't like that taste. So this is how I do it. I used frozen sweet corn for the fritters. You can use fresh corn as well. Also If you don't eat eggs, you can skip it and use just milk.

I used onions, you can used chopped spring onions. Green chillies, Jalapenos, chopped carrots can be used in the batter. You can even use grated cheese for the recipe.
