CORN CURRY
Most of the time, we use corn on the cob with a lot of masala smeared on it. This is a great favourite, especially in the rainy season when a hot corn on the cob is most welcome.
I came across another use of corn when I saw this recipe from Tarla Dalal, another of those great Indian cookery experts who has been like a guide for thousands like me over the decades. She is a household name in India who has come up with ever so many interesting recipes of different types of cuisine.
What particularly appealed to me in this North Indian recipe, which turned out to be quite delicious, was the crunchy taste of corn set in a curry that went very well with rotis.
