Corn Chaat


Sometimes I wonder why chaat items are termed as Junk Food..... All it contains is some raw veggies( like carrots, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes), murmure/cooked channa/corn, little oil and some masalas.... Which are all good for health and also very low on calories!! The oil we add here is almost negligible, compared to pakoras and other fried items. So, I would prefer to call this dish as a healthy food than call it Junk Food. Am I not right, people??!!??
Both Naveen and I love chaats so much, that I make them as starters whenever I have guests over for dinner!!! Here's one such chaat recipe that has won me a lot of appreciation from all my friends...This one is sure to set your taste buds tingling!!! :)

Ingredients:

2 cups Sweet corn kernels
1/2 cup Chopped Onions (Red Onions give a good color. Since I ran short of red onions, I have used yellow onions in the picture)
1/4 cup Grated Carrots
1 tsp Chaat Masala
1/4 tsp Red Chilli powder
1 tsp Lime juice
1/2 tsp Sugar
2 tbsp Nylon Sev
1-2 strands Cilantro
2 tsp Oil
Salt as per taste

Method:

  1. Cook the corn kernels in the microwave for about 3 mins, or until they are cooked.

  2. In a mixing bowl add oil, cooked corn, carrots, onions, chilli powder, chaat masala, salt, sugar , lime juice and mix well. Add more masalas if required.

  3. Garnish with Sev, Cilantro and serve immediately.

Hi Ramya,
I love your blog and the way you present each recipe.
I am from Bangalore and familiar with most of them but I really enjoyed making some of the Mangalore recipes.
Keep posting and have a great weekend.
