Perkedel Jagung (Indonesian Corn Fritters)

After much searching...I found a yummy Indonesian recipe that is not already posted here at Zaar. It looks very uncomplicated, not TOO exotic & delicious. If you make this before me (next week), please let me know what you think. This particular version was on somebody's blog...most of the other versions I found hadn't been translated!
