Serving Suggestion

You can serve corn chaat as a:

  • for the drinks party
  • family movie nights
  • fulfilling after-school snack
  • for the evening snacks with a cup of tea
  • for a potluck, backyard BBQ, or feeding a large gathering.

My Tried & True Tips

If you are using whole corn cob, then you can boil the cob in seasoned water and later scrape the kernels from the cob for making the chaat.

If you are using frozen corn kernels, thaw them before boiling them in water.

Seasoning boiling water with garlic, ginger, salt, bay leaf, and pepper gives a lot of flavor to the corn kernels. Hence, do not skip this step.

DO NOT COOK CORN for too long in the water. They should have a crunch.

For a vegan corn chaat, skip adding butter to the boiled corn kernels. Use one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil.

If you are making this corn chaat for the kids, skip adding green chilies.
