Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 2 sweet corns
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise (any type, egg or eggless)
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Tomato sauce/ketchup
  • 1/2 lemon
  • Water to cook
  • 2 tbsp oil

Instructions
 

Recipe to make Elote:

  • Boil sweet corns in a pressure cooker with enough water for 4 whistles until cooked completely.
  • When the pressure drops drain out the water and let them cool down.
  • Now insert a long skewer(tikka) stick in the middle body of the boiled corn as shown in the picture. If you don't have skewer sticks never mind, just ignore this step and proceed with the next. This stick helps to handle the hot corn easily.
  • Place a Tawa on a stove and heat a tbsp of oil.
  • Roast the boiled corns on the stove in medium flame for 2 minutes on each side. Rotate or flip them few times to roast all the sides evenly.
  • Be careful not to burn too much as we have boiled them already.
  • Remove from the stove. When the corn is warm enough to handle, apply a generous amount of mayonnaise on all the sides as shown in the picture.
  • Sprinkle chilli powder and salt as per your taste preference.
  • Drizzle with tomato sauce.
  • Serve this kids favorite delicious Elote - Mexican sweet corn.

Notes

Notes: 1. Boil corn completely and drain out the extra water fully. 2. You can use any kind of Mayonnaise for this recipe. 3. Use salt carefully because mayo and sauce both have salt in it.
