corn chaat recipe or masala corn recipe with step by step photos – one more spicy chaat recipe for the monsoon time. corn chaat is an easy snack which you can prepare quickly or whenever you are short of time. even bachelors can make it as it does not require any cooking expertise.

mostly in india, corn cobs are consumed by either roasting them on charcoal or on stove top. but you can use corn in many recipes. e.g. you can make corn cutlet, corn fried rice, masala corn, sweet corn soup, corn pakora and sweet corn pulao recipe. or you can add them in cutlet, tikkis or rice dishes or they even go well with veggies or mushroom dishes.

i have used american sweet corn kernels which my sister had got for me to make this chaat. this is a healthy snack and you can consider making it for kids or for your family. but if you plan to make it for small kids then skip adding green chili and red chili powder.

the other name for this chaat is masala corn. since i have added onions, tomatoes, lemon juice in this recipe and garnished with some sev, i call this recipe corn chaat. there’s not much difference though. so it can be called either.

a unique herb variation i added in the chaat was parsley. generally we add coriander leaves in the chaat recipes that we make. however the flavors of parsley, nicely blended with the indian ingredients and tasted too good.

the corn chaat can be just had as it is. it can also be served as starter and best time to have it is while its raining !!!
