buttered corn recipe, how to make buttered sweet corn

Buttered corn recipe with step by step photos – easy, quick and tasty snack made with corn, butter and herbs. I used to make this recipe quite frequently in the monsoons. It is quick if you have a packet of corn kernels.

If you do not have corn kernels, but corn cobs, then you will have to boil the corn cobs in water – in which some salt is added. When the corn cobs are boiled, peel of the corn from the cobs. This will take some time. I Had a packet of American corn kernels which came in handy, so it was easy.

This buttered corn recipe uses butter. you could use both salted or unsalted butter. If you are conscious about your diet, then you could also use olive oil instead of butter. I have used more butter, but you could use less amount or more.

Overall, its a delicious snack which you can have at any time of the day. Children are specially going to love it.

Preparation to make buttered corn

Cooking corn

1. To make buttered corn, I have used corn kernels. You can also use 2 large corn cobs. Steam and then remove the kernels with a good knife. You will require about 2 cups of corn kernels.

2. Rinse the corn kernels couple of times in water. Then drain all the water.

3. Add the rinsed corn kernels in a pressure cooker. Also add a ½ teaspoon salt and 2 cups water.

4. Mix well. Then pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles on medium flame. you could also boil corn kernels in a pan. Though this will take a longer time. You can even steam corn kernels.

5. Let the pressure fall down on its own in the cooker. Then remove the lid.

6. In a colander or strainer, add all the contents of the cooker. Drain all the water and keep the cooked corn kernels aside.
