Ingredients:

  • 4 medium sized corns
  • 2-3 green chillies
  • 1/2 inch piece of ginger
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1-2 teaspoon chilli powder
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt to taste
  • A pinch of Asafoetida
  • Chopped coriander and grated coconut for garnishing

Preparation time: 10 mins

Cooking Time: 20-25 mins

Method:

  • Grate the corn with a hand grater to make a coarse paste. (You could also use a food processor or mixer grinder but it will affect the taste. It tastes better if you use the hand grater.)
  • Finely chop the ginger and green chilli.
  • Add oil in a pan. Add asafoetida and mustard seeds till it splutter.
  • Add green chillies and chopped ginger.
  • Add corn paste, turmeric, chilli powder and salt. Stir it occasionally to make sure that no lumps are formed. Cook it for approx.10-15 mins until the liquid in the corn paste gets dried off and the colour of the mixture changes to golden yellow.
  • Add milk and water. Continue stirring till its consistency becomes like halwa or upma.
  • Add sugar and lemon juice.
  • Garnish it with chopped coriander, grated coconut and serve hot.
