Instructions
boiling corn
- First steam or boil fresh 2 medium corn cobs till the kernels are tender. You can steam them in a pressure cooker, steamer or Instant pot or electric cooker.
- I cooked them in a pressure cooker in 1.5 cups water for 5 whistles. You can also cook them in a pan. Add the corn cobs and water in a pan. Cover and cook till the corn kernels become tender. Add more water if required while cooking.
- Let the corn cobs become warm or cool down. Then carefully scrape off the corn kernels with a knife.
making corn salad
- Add the corn kernels in a mixing bowl.
- Add finely chopped onion, finely chopped cucumber and chopped coriander or chopped parsley.
- Sprinkle 1/4 tsp red chilli powder or cayenne pepper and 1/4 tsp roasted cumin powder.
- Now add lemon juice. Add lemon juice as per your taste preferences. Sometimes I also add 1 to 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil. If you want you can add extra virgin olive oil too.
- Mix and toss everything very well.
- Serve sweet corn salad immediately. Or you can chill in the fridge and serve later.
