Corn Vada - Cooking for Kids Event(CFK)

Corn is a good source of Fiber and Folate which can be used fresh, frozen or canned. It is good for skin care, boosting nervous system, digestion, and maintaining low cholesterol levels.It is also rich in proteins and carbohydrates.
Even though it is high in fiber it is hard to digest. But the insoluble fiber in it tackles the common digestive ailments (like constipation and hemorrhoids) by absorbing water.My recipe using corn is an easy and well known Corn Vada which can be served with ketchup or by itself.

Sharmi of Neivedyam is hosting Cooking For Kids Event and this is my first recipe for any event like this :). Hope kids will like this delicious and healthy recipe.
