Sweet Corn Chaat

1. Preparing the Frozen Sweet Corn

• Take 2 cups of Frozen American Sweet Corn straight from the freezer.
• No need to thaw the corn; frozen kernels cook quickly and retain their crispness.
• Boil 2 cups of water in a saucepan.
• Add the sweet corn and boil for 3 minutes on medium heat until they soften slightly and become juicy.
• Alternatively, they can be microwaved for 2 minutes with a few tablespoons of water.
• Once boiled, drain the water using a colander and allow it to cool for 1–2 minutes.

2. Optional Butter Tossing (Adds Street-Style Flavor)

• Heat 1 tbsp butter in a small pan.
• Add the boiled sweet corn.
• Toss for 1 minute on low heat to enhance aroma and taste.
• This step is optional but highly recommended for rich street-style flavor.

3. Preparing the Fresh Chopped Ingredients

• Finely chop 1 medium onion—small pieces make the chaat crispier.
• Finely chop tomatoes after removing the seeds to avoid excess moisture.
• Chop fresh green chilli if you prefer a spicy kick.
• Chop coriander leaves finely.
• Optional: finely diced cucumber and boiled potato cubes can be added for a more filling snack.

4. Mixing the Base Ingredients

• Transfer the warm butter-tossed sweet corn into a large mixing bowl.
• Add chopped onions, tomatoes, green chilli, and coriander.
• If adding boiled potatoes or cucumbers, mix them in now.
• Gently toss them without mashing the corn kernels.

5. Adding the Spice Mix

Add the spices one by one:

• ½ tsp black salt – gives a tangy punch.
• ½ tsp chaat masala – the soul of any Indian chaat.
• ¼ tsp roasted cumin powder – adds earthy flavor.
• ¼ tsp red chilli powder – adjust as per your spice preference.
• Salt to taste (add carefully as black salt + chaat masala already contain salt).
• ½ tsp pepper powder for a warm spicy undertone.
• Mix gently to combine all spices evenly.

6. Adding the Tangy Elements

• Squeeze one full lemon over the mixture using a lemon squeezer.
• Make sure to add lemon juice gradually and adjust according to your taste.
• If you love sweet-tangy chaat, add 1 tsp tamarind chutney or a few drops of honey.

7. Combining Everything

• Now gently mix everything using a spoon.
• Ensure each corn kernel is coated with spices, onions, and lemon juice.
• The chaat should look colorful, moist, and aromatic.

8. Adding Final Garnishes

• Sprinkle freshly chopped coriander.
• Add a small handful of sev or mixture for crunch.
• Add pomegranate seeds for a fruity twist.
• This combination enhances both taste and presentation.

9. Serving

• You can serve it in:
  • Chaat bowls
  • Paper cups (street-style)
  • Lettuce cups
  • Snack plates
• Add extra lemon wedge on the side for personal adjustment.
