Corn and rainfall, a romantic liaison.

Step-by-step directions for making crispy corn kernels and crispy fried corn is shown below. Young and urban audiences are very fond of street food recipes or snack recipes. In general, these are quick and easy to prepare, and they are lip-smacking in taste as well. It can be made in a variety of ways, and one such recipe is the crispy corn recipe known for its crispiness and taste.

In addition, I would like to discuss a few tips, suggestions, and variations of the crispy corn recipe. This recipe uses already deseeded and thawed frozen sweet corn kernels. Fresh sweet corn kernels might need to be de-seeded first and then boiled in water. The frozen ones do not have to be deseeded, so you can use them as-is. Finally, the dish is served warm, so once it has rested, the crispiness may recede. Thus, you may deep fry them with the coating and sauté them just before serving.

Take Caution while frying the sweet kernels

You should use a frying pan splatter screen when trying this recipe. Kernels of corn can sometimes burst during frying, splashing oil on you. Instead of the steel mess cover, you can use the one I used below, which was intended for fruit baskets, or just reverse a steel mess basket and try to cover your pan or the area of the kernels frying.

Do not Cover with a normal lid that will trap steam and water will drop into the oil. This will definitely result in hot oil splashes. Take out just after 1 to 2 minutes of frying on the medium-high flame as soon as they are crisp or golden.

Do not let children enter the kitchen while frying the sweet kernels. If you take care of these important steps I assure you that you will get a delicious dish out of these steps. Just do not ignore these very important steps.

Important Suggestions To Keep In Mind

Use a steel mesh strainer when frying the corn kernels after coating.
After frying, immediately serve the corn chaat. The more it gets delayed, the more the chaat will become soggy.
If you have a whole corn cob, you can boil it in seasoned water and then scrape the kernels off to prepare the chaat.
For frozen corn kernels, make sure to thaw them before boiling them in water.
Infusing boiling water with garlic, ginger, salt, bay leaf, and pepper imparts a rich flavor to the corn kernels, so it’s essential not to omit this step.
Avoid overcooking the corn in the water; maintaining a crunch is crucial.
For a vegan version of corn chaat, omit the addition of butter to the boiled corn kernels. Instead, use one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil.
If preparing this corn chaat for children, leave out the green chilies.

Serving Suggestion

Corn chaat is versatile and can be served on various occasions, such as:

At a drinks party
During family movie nights
As a fulfilling after-school snack
Alongside evening tea
For a potluck, backyard BBQ, or when feeding a large gathering.
