Corn Masala Curry

Whenever I go to the city market, I always ensure that I get loads of corn.. Corn in different forms be it the charcoal roasted corn on the cob  with a mixture of salt, chilli powder and lemon juice sprinkled over it (Butta) which is Ria's favourite...Everyone at home also enjoys the Corn Coriander Soup, the corn chaat and the corn cutlets.... the list seems long :)

Sweet Corn in available in the market these days... so do get a couple of them and treat your family to different dishes.   Recently, when I was running out of vegetables, I made Corn Masala Curry and it turned out great with the combination of capsicum.

Let's take a look at the ingredients and method of making this delicious curry which will definitely remind  you of eating at a restaurant!

Method :

Grind and keep aside both the masala's.  Boil or steam the corn with little salt.  In a pan add butter and the Onion Coriander masala and saute well.  Now add the Capsicum and saute for sometime.  It's now time to add tomato, cashew paste and saute well till the butter separates.
