When I get lazy and want to a quick, healthy, delicious and oh-so-simple snack, the corn bhel rules the list as an all time favorite.
Preparation Time : 15 mins.
Cooking Time : 5 mins.
Serves 4.
Ingredients
1½ cups boiled tender corn kernels
2 medium potatoes, boiled and cut into cubes
1 teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera)
½ cup chopped onions
1 to 2 green chillies, chopped
½ cup chopped tomatoes
juice of ½ lemon
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1 teaspoon oil
salt to taste
To garnish
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
Method
- Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, add the cumin seeds and allow them to crackle.
- Add the onions, green chillies and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, till the onions are translucent.
- Add the tomatoes, corn, potatoes, lemon juice, coriander, sugar and salt and mix well.
- Garnish with the coriander and serve immediately.
Note:
Quite often I use this as a base for a salad. Fresh greens, raspberry vinaigrette, cayenne pepper and the corn bhel all tossed together. Enjoy.
