My kids who are fond of Sweet corn, loved this sweet corn masala. I made some kulchas for the kids and we both had with rotis.

Sweet corn kernels 1 cup Onion 3 Tomato 2 Capsicum 3 tblsp Garlic 5-6 cloves Yogurt 1 tblsp Oil 3 tblsp Red chili powder 1 tsp Cumin powder 1/2 tsp Coriander powder 1/2 tsp Garam masala 1 tsp Kasoori methi 2 pinches Cashew nuts 7-9 Milk 1/3 cup Salt as needed Method:
- If using fresh sweet corn, pressure cook this by adding little salt and take out the kernels one by one.
