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.
