on Aug 12, 2022, Updated Oct 19, 2022 Corn is in season and I’m doing all sorts of things with it. My favourites are corn pakodas, corn tikkis, corn chowder, buttered sweet corn, lasooni corn palak, corn ka kees, corn fritters, roasted bhutta, sweet corn soup and of course this Chinese-style Corn Bhel. I’m not sure if Corn Bhel is really a thing but it’s the best thing ever! It’s such a flavour bomb and it’s got so many different textures that it feels like a party in your mouth. Looking for more Chaat recipes? Try my Pani Puri (Golgappa/ Puchka) Recipe, Air Fryer Papdi and Easy Bread Chaat! It starts with roasting whole corn on the cob on an open flame which in my opinion brings out the best flavours of corn. The slightly charred, sweet, still crunchy but tender corn kernels taste amazing on their own with some butter, lime juice, salt and chilli powder – its actually India’s favourite street snack! I obviously love Indo-Chinese flavours so I had to try them with this corn bhel. Soy sauce, chilli sauce, ketchup and lime juice give this a sweet, spicy, tangy finish. You only need 10-15 minutes to put this together and don’t forget the crispy fried noodles to finish. I already have a detailed recipe to make crispy fried noodles you can try. Make this corn bhel before the season finishes – it makes the best 5PM snack ever. LOVE THIS RECIPE? Subscribe to my newsletter and be the first to receive all new recipes!
