Instructions
boiling corn
First steam or boil fresh 2 medium corn cobs till the kernels are tender. You can steam them in a pressure cooker, steamer or Instant pot or electric cooker.
I cooked them in a pressure cooker in 1.5 cups water for 5 whistles. You can also cook them in a pan. Add the corn cobs and water in a pan. Cover and cook till the corn kernels become tender. Add more water if required while cooking.
Let the corn cobs become warm or cool down. Then carefully scrape off the corn kernels with a knife.
making corn salad
Add the corn kernels in a mixing bowl.
Add finely chopped onion, finely chopped cucumber and chopped coriander or chopped parsley.
Sprinkle 1/4 tsp red chilli powder or cayenne pepper and 1/4 tsp roasted cumin powder.
Now add lemon juice. Add lemon juice as per your taste preferences. Sometimes I also add 1 to 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil. If you want you can add extra virgin olive oil too.
Mix and toss everything very well.
Serve sweet corn salad immediately. Or you can chill in the fridge and serve later.
