Notes
- se 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.
