Notes
You can use the regular corn in the place of sweet corn. Either way is good, but the light sweet taste will be missing in the patties.
Chilli powder or pepper powder is the perfect swap for green chilies.
For the slurry for the patties, you can opt for chickpea flour, rice flour, or buckwheat flour. Using flour is purely your option.
If you don’t have breadcrumbs, do not worry. You can use semolina, flattened rice ( poha ), or even crushed graham crackers. When using graham crackers, make sure to add less salt to the patties.
