  • 1 onion

Instructions
 

Preparation:

    How to remove the kernels from fresh & raw corn cob:

    • Remove the outer covers of the fresh corn layer by layer.
    • Using a strong and large knife, just shave off the kernels from top to bottom like this. Please refer to the video for better understanding.
    • Do not remove the kernels too deep from their roots as the roots may be too hard to boil.
    • Collect all the grains in the same way and boil and you can use this in different ways like salads, gravies, stir-fries and chat recipes.

    Boil corn kernels:

    • Add a cup of water and pressure cook the corn for one whistle.
    • Release pressure and drain the excess water if any.

    Recipe:

      Salad dressing:

      • In a small cup, add a tsp of oil preferably olive oil.
      • Add lemon juice with oil. Also add salt, pepper powder and chilli powder.
      • Mix everything and your salad dressing is ready.

      Fixing salad:

      • Take cooked corn in a large mixing bowl.
      • You can add the salad dressing now and mix well with the warm corn. This is just the masala corn we get in chat stalls.
      • To make a salad, add onion and tomato pieces.
      • Also, add grated carrot and green leaves like fresh spinach or mint if you wish.
      • Combine them all and serve the salad as breakfast or starter before a meal. It is a healthy snack option too.

      Notes

      Tips:
      1) You can use readymade corn kernels too to make this salad. But as I said it is much easier to make a fresh one in a few minutes.
      2) Moreover, you can use extra additions like boiled peanuts and capsicum also in this salad.
      3) Do not overcook the corn and the kernels should be 3/4th cooked to get a crunchy fresh salad.
