Grilled Corn On The Cob......step by step

After so much of cakes and cookies, I am sharing an easy grilled corn which you can do on the stove top. The best part is it is fat free....no oil....no butter... and yes HEALTHY too!



Usually this is done on top of charcoal....which I must sadly admit is seen very rarely in Kerala, but if you go outside the state especially during winters and monsoons you can see corn being grilled on top of charcoal at every nook and corner...oh! how much I loved munching on them....and the smokey flavour.

This is a desi style (Indian style) method with desi dressings....a typical street food style.

I took this pic during my last visit to Mysore.



Here is what you should do:
Corn: 1, select soft ones (press your thumb nail into it to find out softer ones).
Red Chilly powder: 1/2 tsp.
Amchur/dry mango powder: A big fat pinch (optional).
Salt: 1/2 tsp.
Lemon: 1/2

Method:
Select soft corn by pressing into one kernel with your thumb nail...your nail should go right in and it should be juicy....avoid harder ones.


2. Remove the skin and put it on top of gas flame, try to cook all the sides by turning it (you will get the black spots in a matter of minutes)...If you have grill at home then go ahead and grill it.

3. Mix red chilly powder, amchur (if using), and salt. Press one lemon into the masala.

4. Take the hot grilled corn...

5. And rub the lemon all over.

6. That's it perfectly grilled spicy, citrusy corn is ready to munch on this winter......perfectly grilled street food right in your kitchen and healthy too.

    Hi Nisa,
    This is my very favorite way to prepare corn, the flavor is just amazing. I like to use the roasted corn in recipes, it gives a special flavor. Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday. Hope you are having a great week and come back soon!

    Yum - it's the start of summer here, and corn season is on it's way. It's still a few weeks before it gets plentiful and reasonably priced (right now about $2 a cob - ridiculous), but as soon as the price is right you can be sure I will be trying this :-)

    Couscous-Hey thanks for the visit. Oh my! that's awfully costly $2 a cob is totally ridiculous, I agree on that. Here it is around Rs. 3 per cob. I guess we are the lucky ones :)

Pidiyum Kozhiyum Recipe - How To Make Kerala Style Kozhi Pidi - Kerala Recipes

Pidiyum kozhiyum or kottayam style pidi is a traditional knanaya cuisine ; these rice dumpling have a thick gravy like sauce, unlike the dry versions of Malabar kakka roti or kozhi pidi. Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions. My main aim is to preserve this recipe; so that the future generations can enjoy this wholesome dish. Pidi is rice dumplings which is simmered in water along with shallots, garlic, curry leaves, and coriander seeds; but I have used coriander powder instead to make the whole process easy.

I have made a video recipe and I hope this you help...
