corn chaat or masala corn

corn chaat: spicy corn chaat

corn chaat - one more spicy chaat recipe for the monsoon time. its an easy snack which you can prepare quickly or whenever you are short of time. even bachelors can make it as it does not require any cooking expertise.

mostly in india, corn cobs are consumed by either heating on charcoal or on stove top. but you can use corn in many recipes. e.g. you can make corn sandwich and sweet corn soup or you can add them in cutlet, tikkis or rice dishes or they even go well with veggies or mushroom dishes.

i have used sweet corn to make this chaat. this is a healthy snack and you can consider making it for kids or for your family. but if you plan to make it for small kids then reduce the quantity of green chili and red chili powder.

the other name for this chaat is masala corn. since i have added onions, tomatoes, lemon juice in this recipe and garnished with some sev, i call this recipe corn chaat. there's not much difference though. so it can be called either.

a unique herb variation i added in the chaat was parsley. generally we add coriander leaves in the chaat recipes that we make. however the flavors of parsley, nicely blended with the indian ingredients and tasted too good.

the corn chaat can be just had as it is. can also be served as starter….. and best time to have it is while its raining !!!
