Fresh-from-the-cob kernels bound with the lightest of batters give these vegetarian fritters mass appeal. Cornmeal in the batter enhances the corn flavor while a final dollop of lime yogurt provides richness and tang.

Cook the corn fritters
In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Using a large spoon or 1/3 cup measure, add the corn batter to the pan about 1/3 cup per fritter. Cook until well browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. While the fritters cook, assemble the snap pea salad.
