This is a nice healthy snack as corn is of a high nutritious value. Addition of corn to our diet, couple of times a week has many health benefits. You can make corn more interesting especially for the kids by adding things which they love ,like I made with potatoes and cheese.
Ingredients -
For the corn filling-
Sweet corn - 2 no. cooked well and kernels seperated.
Onion - 1 finely chopped
Garlic - 1 crushed
Chillies- 1
Cumin - 1tsp
salt - acc. to taste
Coriander leaves
Oil
For the potato nest -
Potato - 1 big
Oil for deep frying
For garnishing -
Grated cheese
Chaat powder
Method -
Corn filling-
Heat 2tsp oil in a pan and add cumin seeds,garlic,chillies. Then add onion and fry them till they become translucent. Add the corn and mix well. Add salt and coriander leaves.
Potato nest-
Grate the potato and and arrange them on a metal sieve(shape of a cup)and deep fry them.
(You could even arrange potato julienne on a mould and deep fry them.)
If someone has better and easier idea to make the potato cups/basket, please do share with me. My potato basket did not come out that good, but it was ok as I could fill the corn in it neatly.
Assembling - Fill the potato nest with corn. Add grated cheese on the top. Sprinkle little chaat powder on them. Microwave for about 2 minutes till the cheese melts.
