Corn delights
Sweet corn on cob is one of my favorite summer essentials. Come July and the market is flooded with sweet corn on cob until late October. I like to enjoy corn on cob two ways: grilled~Indian style, and boiled.
Fresh Sweet Corn on Cob
Grilled Corn on Cob
Corn cobs on stove top grill pan
Ingredients:
3 ears of Corn
Red chilli powder – a pinch
Salt – 1/4 tsp
Lime juice – 4 tbsp
Grilled Corn
Remove the husk, discard the silk. Heat a stove-top grill pan or an electric outdoor grill and place the corn on the grill. Cover and cook, turning occasionally, until slightly charred on all sides and the corn is cooked~20-30 minutes. Season with lime juice, a pinch of red chili powder, and a dash of salt. Serve.
Boiled Corn on Cob
2 ears of Corn
Boiled Corn
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add 1/2 tsp salt to the boiling water. Break the corn on cob each into two pieces. Add them to the boiling water and let cook uncovered for 10 minutes. Drain and serve the corn immediately.
Luv,
Mona

Mona,
The pics are great. I just love the smell of the roasted corn, and used to have them regularly while coming back from my school.
And of course, Happy Ramadan and Ganesh Chaturthi.

Steamed CORN – yummy
Take the fresh corn or frozen corn (sweet corn / babycorn) wash it and put for steam or can be put in pressure cooker without and weight and cook in very slow flame until its turned soft, remove it.
Take a bowl, Add the steamed corn when its hot, Add butter to it+ salt+Lemonjuice+pepper powder and mix it well.
If needed to be a bit spicy add chilli powder. It tastes Yummy..and its famous here in kuwait.
