2 tsp green chili paste (or to taste)

2) Add jowar flour, green chili paste, cumin seeds, besan flour, cilantro and salt to taste. Mix well and add little water to make thick batter. The batter should be thick and sticky.
3) Heat oil in a kadai. When oil is hot, turn the heat to medium. Drop small portions of batter with a spoon. Deep fry till golden in color.
Serve hot with chutney.

Tips:
1) If the corn kernels are not tender then boil them to soften.

3) If the pakodas are breaking after adding in the oil, then add some flour to the batter.
