These days I can see lots and lots of corn in all the farmer’s markets. Whenever I see them, I think of my college days in Balgaum. We used to eat a lot of ‘butta’, which was fried on charcoal. The road side gadiwalas applied salt, lemon and some spicy chutney. They were so tasty.
In Bangalore, we get the masala corn, butter corn etc. In my pachi’s house, they prepare some dish with for Ganesh Chaturthi, where in the corn cobs are cut into two and they are cooked with some other vegetables in coconut gravy. I will post that recipe sometime later.
Corn upkari is a very simple and very tasty dish. I have learnt it from Pachi and since then, I am a big fan of it.

Now add corn and coconut, add 1/2 cup water, salt, close the lid and cook till corn becomes tender. Garnish with chopped coriander. Serve with chapathi or rice.

I do prepare sweet corn chat with little difference from above. Use frozen sweet corn, add a small piece of unsalted butter, pinch of salt and microwave for 2 min (adjust it accordingly). Dont add water. Serve with Chopped coriander, pepper powder and lime juice. Very fast, easy, delicious and nutrtious too.
