Grilled Corn off the Cob (Bhutta/Makai)

My favorite way to have corn is grilled. However, sometimes grilling corn takes a lot of time, with the set up and preparation. This is an easy and no mess recipe. This is a delicious simple twist on the traditional grilled corn on the cob.

Cuisine Indian
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 4 ears corn, husked and silky thread remove
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger

Instructions

  • Remove the kernels from corn, it is easy to do, tear the husk off, and then run the knife downwards to remove the kernels.
  • Coat the flat bottom heavy frying pan with oil and heat over medium high heat, put the corn kernels and stir fry for 4-5 minutes stirring continuously.
  • While stir frying kernels will be getting some light and some dark brown color, some of the kernels will pop like you are grilling.
  • When the kernels are similar in color turn off the heat, and add salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and ginger mix it well.
  • You will be amazed by the taste. They match the taste of corn grilled over charcoal, without even preparing the grill.
