Indian Style Corn Salad

Indian Style Corn Salad

Corn salads and salsas have been very popular as side dishes or summer favorites in western countries; and no doubt it is one of the most delicious and healthy snack. So, I thought let give it an Indian twist.

Ingredients

One can of corn or 2 corn ears steamed

1 small tomato

1 small red onion

1 small green pepper

6-7 stems of cilantro

2 stem of green onions

Croutons or chana chor garam (Indian snack found in Indian stores) or dry corn

Salt, pepper, olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon of roasted cumin powder, ½ teaspoon red chili powder

Method

·         If you are using the canned corn then drain it and pat dry it with paper towel when ready to mix it. If using fresh steamed corn then with a knife cut through and get all the corn.

·         Finely chop all the veggies, for tomatoes I recommend taking out the seeds and then cut it and pat dry with paper towel so it is not to watery.

·         Now take a bowl mix corn and all other veggies and season it with salt, pepper, splash of olive oil, lime juice, cumin powder and red chili powder

·         At the end add the chana chor garam preferably, but if you don’t have it add croutons

·         Garnish it with fresh cilantro………..mua mua this salad will smell so good and will taste even better.

Tips

Tips is that there is no big tip this time, but yes you can always add parsley instead of cilantro, but that will change a taste only a bit.
