Corn Kebab Sweet Corn Kabab

You do not need an oven to make these kababs. Although if you have an oven, you can bake or grill these. Just a skillet or a frying pan is used to make these Corn Kebab which are pan fried with little oil. Thus these are not loaded with fat. I have also shared the recipe of Corn Cutlet earlier which is differently made than this kebab recipe. The ingredients to make corn kabab are easily available in an Indian kitchen and you do not need to go hunting for special ingredients. For less work, you can make the kabab mixture a day before. Then refrigerate it and make kabab the next day. If you like kebab recipes, then you can check these vegetarian kabab recipes:
