During corn season, i tried to use white sweet corn kernals from the cob and sauteed them few spices which made a great snack or call it a appetizer. One thing for sure that this dish is eye catching when served in a open platter, garnished with red and green pepper slices, red radishes and mint sprigs.
When corn is out of season, frozen organic sweet corn can be used. This is very child friendly dish and spices can be adjusted if made for children.
Ingredients
2 Tbs olive oil
1/2 Red and 1/2 Green pepper cut in strips
salt to taste
2 Pinches cuminseed
1/2 Ts mustard seeds
1Ts dry coriander powder
1 inch ginger cut into matchstickes
2 cups organic frozen sweet corn or fresh from the cob
1/4 Ts red chili flakes
Juice of one lemon
1 Tbs raisins
3-4 mint sprigs
3-4 red radishes thinly sliced
Pinch of chaat masala
Heat the oil on medium heat,stir fry the pepper strips for couple of minutes. Transfer them to a bowl, sprinkle pinch of salt and keep aside.
In the same oil add cuminseed and mustard seeds, wait until you hear the crackling sound,takes a few seconds. Shake the pan quickly,add coriander powder,followed by ginger stickes,corn, salt,red chili flakes and saute them for 5-6 minutes or until corn looks cooked but still crisp. Finish with squeez of lemon juice.
Serve hot in a open platter. Scatter raisins, garnish with mint sprigs,red radishes and stir fried pepper slices. Sprinkle chaat masala on top and serve.
Hope you and your guests will enjoy it as mine do.
