I used to love the masala corn that you get in those small stalls at Spencer's (Chennai, India). Masala corn is a simple snack bursting with lot of flavors.

That's my li'l one finishing up his non-spicy version of Masala Corn. Sorry about the shaken pic, though!

Cook time - 10-15 mins

Serves - 4

Ingredients

Corn on the cob - 4 nos (about 4 cups of corn)

Salt - to taste

Butter - 1-2 tbsp (More the butter better it tastes :))

Pepper (Freshly ground) - 2-3 tsp (or as required. I used white pepper powder for this recipe)

Lime juice - 2-3 tsp (or as required)

Chaat powder - 1-2 tsp (optional, I skipped this)

Cilantro - for garnish

Note
Adjust salt & pepper to your taste buds.

Method

Hold tight the corn horizontally on your cutting board. Run your knife firmly & carefully through the sides of the corncob and remove corn form the cob. Rotate the cob slightly and repeat with the next set of the kernel. Continue until the entire corn is done.

Steam the collected corn in a steamer until cooked.

To this, add rest of the ingredients and mix well, until butter is all melted & mixed evenly. Garnish with cilantro and serve in small cups.
