Crispy corn pakoda is a regular snack made during the monsoon seasons. Corn pakoda can be made with sweet corn or regular corn. In this recipe I have used sweet corn.
Corn has numerous health benefits. Corn is low in fat and high in nutrients and eating corn can help in respiration, gastro intestinal troubles and eye health. Corn is also good for lowering hypertension. Corn has lots of roughage so it relieves you of constipation.
