SPICY CORN CAKES

Steps:
- Remove the kernels of corn from the cob. The best way to do it is to remove by hand, peeling in a downward motion, one at a time. This preserves the whole kernel, and leaves them juicy and flavorful when you bite into them. If you're lazy, you can use a knife and slice them off. Or even lazier, just get frozen corn. Whole kernels do taste better, however, and don't explode when you fry them. In a bowl, add the corn, flour, egg, curry paste, sugar and lime leaves. Mix well. Drop by rounded spoonful (and smush a bit once in the pan to flatten) into hot oil. Cook on medium-high heat until golden brown, flipping once. It should take about one minute per side. Serve with Slightly Pickled Cucumber Salad.

THAI CORN CAKES
Received in email from Gourmet_recipes_from_around_the _world. the email notes it was adapted from Very Simple Food. Very pretty with either fresh cut or sweet kernel canned corn - frozen doesn't work as well because the kernels skins get tough when frozen. The sweet chili sauce makes the meal - get it; it's cheap & addictive.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn kernels. Fresh corn kernels will give your corn cakes the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh corn kernels, you can use frozen or canned corn kernels, but they will not be as good.
- Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of your corn cakes. Some good options include cilantro, basil, thyme, cumin, and chili powder.
- Don't overcook the corn cakes. Corn cakes should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still soft and moist on the inside. If you overcook them, they will be dry and tough.
- Serve the corn cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Corn cakes can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
