SWEET CORN SPECIAL
This
is an easy to make snack which is rich in fiber and minerals which can be
prepared in a jiffy. I have added carrot for some extra colour and nutrition.
Kids who don’t like to eat vegetables may be served this to increase their
veggy intake. Children love this, because of the tangy and spicy masala. A
welcoming snack for the hungry kids on their return from school and play. Good
for weight watchers and others alike as this snack doesn’t have any fat
whatsoever. Can be also packed as mid-day snack both by kids and grown ups.
Sweet
corn kernels – 200 gms
Juice
of 1 Lime (adjust to taste)
Salt
–1/2 tsp
Red
chilly powder – a small pinch or less
Onion
– 1 medium minced
Grated
ginger – 1 pinch (optional)
Carrot
– 1 grated (optional)
Coriander
leaves – finely chopped
- Wash the sweet corn kernels and drain them in a colander. Place them in a bowl, pour half a glass of water. Place the bowl into a cooker in which water is added. Close the lid and boil the corn till 1 whistle. Turn off the heat.
- After 10 minutes take out the boiled sweet corn kernels and drain the water.keep aside.
- In the mean time, take a bowl and all the other things one by one, mix well and check the taste by adjusting salt, lime and chilly.
- Now add the cooked and drained corn to the ready mix and mix gently.
- Serve for an enjoyable evening.
Tip: you can prepare
this and keep it ready for children even when you are not around. Only thing to
remember is not to add lime juice. If left for long, water accumulates at the
bottom of the bowl which the kids may not like. However, this tastes quite good
without lime juice also. If you are in hurry and no time to grate carrot or
clean coriander leaves, not to worry.
Variation: You can add grated mango in season instead of lime juice. Grated raw mango blends well and gives a nice aroma and taste to the snack.
