Before we start, let’s look at the history of sweetcorn-

Corn was first used by the native people of Southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago. It was very much different from the present-day modern corn! Derived from the Balsas teosinte (Zea mays parviglumis), a wild grass, its culture spread as far north as southern Maine by the time of European settlement of North America, and Native Americans taught European colonists to grow the indigenous grains. From there, it spread to the rest of the world!

Native Americans had developed many corn-based recipes and even today, most of the South depends on corn meal for their daily needs. While frying was not used by the native Americans, it, later on, was adopted as the main cooking method and is still practised mostly in America. From there Europeans also adopted the frying method and the corn fritter was formed!
