A fun and easy way to serve corn from Mohati.
Corn Chevda
A 30 min meal!
The best thing about this is that it can be made very quick and with very few ingredients, the ingredients marked with an asterick can be omitted and it will still taste very good.
Ingredients:
Corn kernels (Canned or frozen) - 2 cans
Chopped green chillies- 2 tbsp (or to taste)
Mustard seeds- 1 tsp
Milk- 1/2 cup
Salt (to taste)
Ginger (paste/finely chopped)- 2 tsps
*Garlic (paste/finely chopped)- 1 tsp
*Asafoeitida (Hing)- a pinch
*Dry red chilly - 1
*Sesame seeds- 2 tsps
*Turmeric powder- a pinch
*Cilantro (chopped, for garnishing)
Method:
If you are using frozen corn, add water and heat it for a while till it is cooked (5-8 mins in the microwave should do it, or 10-15 min on the stove). Run half the corn though the blender and make a coarse paste.
Heat the oil in a big pan. After it heats for about 5-7 mins on medium heat add the mustard seeds. As they start popping add the red chilly, sesame seeds, asafoeitida, ginger, garlic and green chillies to the oil. Give it a quick stir and immediately add all the corn to it. Add a pinch of turmeric powder to this. Let it cook for about 5 mins and add the milk and salt. Cook if for about 15 more mins, add half the chopped cilantro and mix it well. Turn off the heat and let it sit for a while before garnishing it with more cilantro and serving.
Serving suggestion: While eating mix sev in it. Gives it a nice crunchy texture.
