Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 150°C. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until translucent. Remove from heat and mix in a large bowl with corn, salt, capsicum and pumpkin seeds. Add flour and cumin, then gradually stir in water and eggs until combined.
