    Masala Corn Chaat Ingredients

    This recipe uses simple ingredients. Here is what you need and some substitutes:

    Sweet corn Kernels

    I use frozen or tinned corn kernels, but you can also use corn on the cob.

    If you are using corn cob, you will need to boil it rather then microwave. 

    Butter

    Salted Butter is what I use. You can use a Vegan Butter to unsalted butter.

    Spices

    Kashmiri Chilli Powder, Red Pepper Flakes, Red Chilli Powder or Cayenne Pepper.

    Cumin Powder, Salt, Black Pepper.

    Chaat Masala. In place of Chaat Masala, I often use Tajin which is not Indian or traditional but it works really well. You can also use a pinch of Black Salt (Kala Namak).

    Lemon Juice

    Fresh lemon juice or even Lime juice will work.

    Sweet Corn Chaat Recipe

    This is a super simple recipe. Here is what you need to do:

    Microwave Corn Kernels with a splash of water until tender.

    This will take 1 - 2 minutes depending on the quantity of Corn and whether or not it is frozen. 

    Stir Butter and Spices into the cooked Corn.

    Drizzle over some Lemon Juice.

    Taste and adjust seasoning. 

    Variations

    Cheese

    You can add a sprinkling of Cheese such as Feta or Cheddar to the Corn for a different flavour profile.

    Boil corn

    You can boil the Corn instead of microwaving. It will take about 4 minutes to boil the Corn.

    Add a pinch of Salt and drain throughly before adding spices.

    Add Chutneys

    Such as Green Chutney, Tamarind and Date Syrup.

    Chaat Masala

    Some people don’t like the flavour of this blend. You can skip it or use Tajin which is a delicious Mexican spice blend.

    Roast Corn Chaat

    Grill Corn on the Cob till charred, then slice the corn off the cob and continue with the recipe.

    Add Spicy Chutney like Green Chutney, Sour Chutney like Tamarind and Sweet Chutney like Date Chutney for a Sweet, Sour, Hot Chaat.

    Saute Corn

    You can saute the Corn in a pan with the Butter instead of microwaving.

    Add Veg

    Such as bell peppers - green bell pepper/red bell pepper/yellow bell pepper, cucumbers, fresh coriander leaves, red onions, green chilies, tomatoes.

    Spices

    Adjust spices according to your taste buds.

    Add Spices that you like. I like to add chopped Green Chillies sometimes for a super spicy corn chaat recipe.

    Toppings

    Add toppings such as Sev, pomegranate. These add a nice crunch to this indian chaat recipe.

    Serving Suggestions

    This sweet corn chaat is perfect served as it is as a snack or starter. 

    It is best served with Best Chai Tea.

    Serve this as a side dish for any meal or with Grilled Meats/Veg. It is also great for  BBQ’s or a simple lunch.

    Storage

    Corn Chaat is best eaten fresh. You can prep it ahead of time though by boiling or microwaving the corn in advance and then just assemble when you want to eat it. 

    If you do have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
