Ingredients
  

For Boiling:
  • 4 cups Water
  • 2 cups Corn kernels
  • For Frying:
  • 3 Tbsp Corn flour
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Black pepper
Masala Seasoning :
  • 1 Tsp Red chili powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Cumin powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Chat Masala
  • Chopped coriander for garnishing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Take 2 corncobs and break them into halves. Remove the kernels from the cobs carefully. If fresh cobs are not available, frozen corn can be used as a convenient alternative.
  2. In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the corn kernels and cook for 1–2 minutes until they become slightly soft. Avoid overcooking, as the corn should retain some firmness.
  3. Drain the corn and remove any excess water. Transfer the kernels into a bowl and allow them to cool slightly.
  4. Add corn flour, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to coat the corn evenly. If needed, sprinkle a little water to help the flour stick.
Frying the Corn
  1. Heat oil in a pan until it is medium hot. Carefully drop the corn kernels into the oil using a spoon.
  2. Fry the kernels on medium flame until they turn golden and crispy, stirring occasionally. This should take around 3–5 minutes. Ensure the oil is not too hot, otherwise the kernels may pop out.
  3. Use kitchen paper to drain excess oil. Transfer the fried corn into a clean bowl.
Seasoning the Crispy Corn
  1. Sprinkle red chili powder, cumin powder, chaat masala, and chopped coriander over the fried corn.
  2. Toss the corn thoroughly to coat it evenly with the spices.
  3. Serve the crispy corn hot and enjoy this crunchy, flavorful snack.

Notes

  • You can use frozen corns, if fresh corns are not available.
  • In case the corn kernels are soft you can skip the boiling step.
  • The oil should not be very hot otherwise the corns will pop out.
  • You can use your favorite spices to coat the fried corns.
  • Using only corn flour works well for crispiness. For extra crunch, you can mix in a little rice flour.
