Corn kernels are rich in vitamins A, B, C, E, D, K, and PP. They also contain a good amount of dietary fiber, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus. This product reduces the risk of stroke and should definitely be included in the diets of middle-aged and older adults.
Ingredients: 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of polenta (fine cornmeal), 400 g of canned corn, 1.5 cups of kefir, 1 egg, 3 shallots, 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of finely chopped parsley, ½ cup of homemade mayonnaise, 1 lime (both juice and zest needed), 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ¼ teaspoon of ground dried chili pepper, oil for frying.
In a bowl, mix the sifted flour, baking powder, cornmeal, Parmesan, parsley, and chili. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the kefir and beaten egg. Stir all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth batter. Fold in the chopped shallots (which have a milder flavor compared to regular onions) and the corn.
In a preheated skillet, add oil for frying and pour ¼ cup of batter for each fritter. Fry the fritters over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side.
Mix the mayonnaise with the chopped lime zest and juice; this will be the sauce we serve with the corn fritters.

Nutrition experts claim that fresh, frozen, and canned corn kernels have the same nutritional value, but canned corn should be thoroughly rinsed with water before use in dishes to reduce sodium content.
