¼ teaspoon Kashmiri Chilli Powder
¼ teaspoon Cumin Powder
¼ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

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. Or boil for 5 minutes.

Notes

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.
