Crispy Masala Corn Sticks

When the lockdown eased, my wife’s parents visited us. I wanted to make something special for them since it was their first visit home after our wedding. My father-in-law and I love corn, so I made them a crispy corn starter.

Ingredients

  • 1 Sweet Corn
  • 25-30 Toothpicks
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Rice Flour
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Corn Flour
  • 1/2 Tsp Red Chilli Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Chat Masala
  • Salt to Taste

Preparation

Prep: 25 minutes
Cooking: 10 minutes

  1. Cut the corn into thick rings (make sure the length of each ring is as long as the toothpick).
  2. Now cut those rings into half. Insert a toothpick into each row of the corn and pull it apart. You’ll get the corn on the toothpick just like kebab on a skewer.
  3. Mix rice flour, cornflour, chaat masala, red chilli powder and salt in a bowl to make the coating. Add the corn sticks to it (sprinkle some water on the corn sticks to coat the masala).
  4. Heat some oil in a frying pan and fry the sticks till the corn turns brown and crispy.
  5. Sprinkle chaat masala and serve hot (they are crispy when hot)

Deepika And Vipin Pokharna

We got married at the cusp of a global pandemic, in March 2020. It will be an unforgettable date because the world as we knew was about to change, even for us. As newly-weds entering into a lockdown together, what brought us close was the love of food. Our arrange marriage turned into a romantic affair with each other and with food. Being at home 24X7, cooking was our way of spending quality time together. We have been cooking up a storm in the kitchen (quite literally) and have managed to make 60+ dishes in this time. We even began documenting our culinary expeditions. Turns out, we are great kitchen companions and fingers crossed this beautiful partnership will only grow fonder and deeper from here on.
