Onion cut into small cubes and fry in vegetable oil.

In grated corn add fried onions, 1-1,5 teaspoons of salt, a little pepper, seasoning and herbs. All mix well. You can add a spoonful of milk or cream.

Now start to make envelopes. To do this, take two pieces of corn that are deployed and put the cut part on top of each other (better to overlap the cm was 2 or 3 so as not disintegrated). Spread on the middle of the tablespoon of the filling and turn the envelope.

First, bend laterally, then the long corners. Holding the envelope, tied it with a strip of corn leaf.
