  3. Frozen kernels should be thawed before use.

  4. Use hot oil to cook the corn kernels. This will prevent them to cook quickly and evenly and will prevent them from becoming soggy.

  5. It is always better to fry the corn kernels in batches.

  6. To make the corn saucy, you can toss it with the sauce of your choice after frying.

  7. You can also adjust the spices used in the recipe based on your personal preference.
