Steps:
- For the sauce: In a small bowl, combine sweet chili sauce and kecap manis. Mix and set aside.
- For the fritters: In a large bowl, combine half the corn kernels, garlic, red bell pepper, nutmeg, ground pepper and egg. Mix well. Place in blender and process at medium speed until pureed. (Variations: For a smooth fritter, add all the corn to the blender; for a very crunchy fritter, reserve all of the corn for Step no. 3)
- Transfer back to bowl; add corn starch, rice flour, shallot and reserved whole corn kernels. Mix well, and season with salt to taste.
- In a wok or a deep frying pan over high heat, add vegetable oil to a depth of 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Heat to 350 degrees. Working in batches, scoop up corn mixture 1 tablespoon at a time, and add to hot oil; be careful not to crowd pan. Fry until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes a side; fresh corn may take slightly longer to brown than canned. Drain and place on paper towels. Serve with dipping sauce.

PERKEDEL JAGUNG (INDONESIAN CORN FRITTERS)
After much searching...I found a yummy Indonesian recipe that is not already posted here at Zaar. It looks very uncomplicated, not TOO exotic & delicious. If you make this before me (next week), please let me know what you think. This particular version was on somebody's blog...most of the other versions I found hadn't been translated!

- If you don't have a corn cob, you can use frozen or canned corn kernels.
- Be sure to drain the corn kernels well before adding them to the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this will make the fritters tough.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the fritters.
- Fry the fritters in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
