Corn-Capsicum curry
Ever since we started shopping at Farmer’s market, we have very fresh vegetables on hand all the time. These days we get tons of fresh corn for very less price. I love corn, so I usually buy it every time. I usually do trial and error and change few ingredients to get a different taste every time. This is one such dish I prepared that was inspired by my corn sagu. I prepared this when I had invited our friends for dinner. We all loved this.
Ingredients:
1 cup corn
1/2 cup capsicum
1/2 cup onion
1/2 cup tomato
4 red chillies
1 tbl spn coconut
2 cloves
1″ cinnamon
1 tea spn ginger
1 tea spn garlic
1/2 tea spn coriander seeds
2 tea spn chopped coriander leaves
Oil
Salt
Method:
Heat oil and add ginger garlic, 1/4 cup onion, cloves, cinnamon, coriander seeds, coconut, chillies for few minutes. Then add tomato and let it cook. Grind to a smooth paste.
Heat little more oil and add remaining onion. Add corn, capsicum, salt, add ground paste and cook till done (if required, use little water).
Serves : 3-4
Preparation time : 20mins
Wow Shilpa, tht such a simple n lovely recipie..!.. A very different combination of corn and capsicum..Its a must try..thnks for posting.:-)
Nice recipe. Keep on posting such nice recipes. But I am not able to see the picture clearly.
Shilpa: Do you see the picture at all? Can you please tell me which browser you use?
Farmers market is a great way to shop for fresh and local veggies. THey end up being relatively cheap too since they are seasonal. Love the curry.
Such a simple and nice recipe. I have both capsicum and corn on hand. Will surely give this a try.
a few days back i made a similiar recipe except i just added a tsp of garam masala when the vegetables were cooked….not only clove and i used yellow and red capsicum since i dont much fancy the green ones
Shilpa your dish looks yummy…. and how cute is that copper bottom kadhai!!
Cant wait to try this recipe… ofcourse once i buy sweet corn this is the first recipe i shall be trying.
what bout adding a dollop of cream to the recipe?!! any suggestions on that…
Shilpa: Mokita, I usually don’t add cream when I use coconut in the recipe. But you can give it a try.
Is it american corn (yellow) or regular (white)??
Shilpa: Pratima, it was white in color, but sweet in taste. Not sure about regular/american. You can use any kind of corn for this.
Logged into your blog to check for some corn recipes and found this.
seems like a good combination. Iam trying this today.
such a plain and boring often-repeated recipe.. why even bother posting this? Your recent recipes have been somewhat going downhill.. you need to create something innovative..
Shilpa: Anon, Aayi’s recipes is a way to keep track of my mom’s recipes and my own for me. So I am going to post here anything that I cook and liked. I am sorry that you are bored, but there are people who like these kind of recipes. Please check other recipes which you feel interesting.
Looks perfect – will try this next time I get some fresh corn! Bookmarked. thanks shilpa
I can see only the top portion of the picture and the rest of the picture is covered by a pink layer. I use internet explorer.
That’s simple and nice. Do drop by my blog sometime dear and let me know u were there. I need some encouragement from the foodies world.
Dear Shilpa,
This is in response to Anonymous’s comment given above. I think you have done a fantastic job putting together ‘Aayi’s recipes’. I am a Konkani myself with roots in Kumta and Siddhapur, but married into a Belgavi family where there is a distinct class of cooking than I have grown up with. With time, I have evolved into a Belgavi myself, but I sorely miss amgele type of food. My aayi’s recipes are scattered over many notebooks and diaries and slips of paper. Hence I find your website a one-stop bible for anything I need. And as an added bonus, one always finds some or the other innovative gem to try out… If anonymous people fail to see the heart behind this website, they should at least not comment.
Personally I found the combination of frying mirsaang, soy, garam masalo, adding it to the North Indian trick of using ginger-garlic paste and tamatar and using it with the continental combination of corn and capsicum, an innovation of the nth order!!
I tried it tasting good.
Hey Shilpa,
You forgot to mention about coriander seeds in the method. You might want to correct that. Love your website and I am a frequent visitor. Keep up the good work.
Shilpa: Thanks for correction. Updated.
Hi,
Instead of Water I add some milk which gives nice consistency to gravy and slight taste of Paneer to the dish.
Thanks
This is to the Aonymous Person,
Well this is her site and her wish. If you dont like, dont make the dish. No one is pleading you. Also please mind your manners. If you think what you are doing is right then post your name. The fact that you are hiding , itself shows you know you are wrong.
Hey – so sorry about my rude comment yesterday! It had less to do with you and more to do with the issues going on in my life that I was just mad at the world and wanted to take my anger out on something/someone. Hope you forgive me and do continue with your recipes and your blogging. I am an avid reader of your blog and will continue to be. Good luck with everything. Sorry again.
Looks yumm:) first time here..u have a coool space:)
Tried this recipe today – was such an unusual combination of veggies – I’ve never tried in an Indian recipe before. I actually tried combining this with ur corn sagu recipe – so used corn, bell peppers and potatos. My husband loved it!!! I liked it too, but I used red bell peppers (didn’t have the green ones) which are sweeter and so with the corn, the dish came out a bit too sweet. But loved the masala, so will try again with the green bell peppers. Thanks so much for the recipe Shilpa. I’m a newly married Amchi and your blog quite literally puts food on my table
I love all your recipes and the simple ones are even more valuable coz thats what most people eat everday.
i tried this and it came out very well… thanks
THis is to Anon:
You must be a really courageous person to come out and become aware of yourself and come out and apologise about your outburst. It really takes guts.
Trust things are working out for you and most importantly you are working your way around things.
Shilpa !! Keep up the good work. Your site is like a shoulder of Aayi…. able to give a comfort and support to people like me –lousy cooks and time constrained working women… and able to absorb some pain of others like Anon and apply some balm … liked your non-judgemental response to Anon….
thanks for your site…
The dish was grea t! Actually I tries it without the garlic, cloves and cinnamon – suits the elders at home and also goes well with South Indian Sambar and Rasam. Simply great – tastes well with rice, chappathi and dosa too! Any more recipes with corn? Of late we are getting lots of good variety American Sweet Corn here in Bangalore. So may be you could post more Corn Recipes. Good Luck !
I tried this recipe and came out well. Although I had a few red chillies, so was tad less spicy.
Keep it up!
Hi shilpa,
To this curry ,you can also add boiled potato and some fresh cream for
extra taste.
Try it.
Aparna
Hi Shilpa, tried this out, tasted awesome!
Thanks
