Quick sweet corn (spicy tangy stall style)

Whenever, we go to the shopping malls if we don't see those stalls of yummy sweetcorn, we start missing them And as soon as one is there you can't stop children from asking for one. With the recipe I am sharing here you can have  those spicy tangy flavored sweet corns at home. There are so many different combinations available for them. Here, I am going to share  couple of versions of that.

With this recipe you will be able to get 1 large cup full of the stall style sweet corn which can be shared as well.

The one we will try here is Indian curry version.

For this you would need :

Frozen sweet corn - 2 cups 

Butter - 2 teaspoon - my son likes 2 tablespoons ;-)

Chat Masala - 1 tea spoon

Piri piri spice mix - 1 teaspoon

Garlic Powder - a pinch

Salt to taste 

Lemon Juice - a few drops

chilli powder - (optional)

Recipe 

Take 3-4 cups of water in a pan/ vessel and let it boil. As it starts boiling add  frozen sweetcorn to this.

With this temperature of water will go down. Let it reach the boiling point again and after a minute or so take it off the hob and strain water.

OR

Instead of boiling in a pan you may keep the frozen sweetcorn in a microwave safe bowl and keep it in microwave for 5 minutes on full. (I use a 900W microwave, time may vary according to the make and wattage of different microwaves.)

Now, add butter and it will start melting. Add all the ingredients and mix well. 

Serve hot.!!!

Feel free to adjust spices more or less as per your taste. This recipe hardly takes any time and is equally favorite among kids and grownups. Can serve as a great popular quick fix if you have planned a play date or have guests at home.

For Cheese flavor sweetcorn - Follow the same process and all the ingredients. Replace chat masala with cheese powder easily available in most superstore in their herbs and spices aisle.
