Come evening time, I always have a craving to snack on something light and savory that would fill my senses with satisfaction but not make my stomach heavy. With this requirement in mind, I played around in my kitchen to create this Corn Salad (Masala Corn Chaat) recipe - a delicious, stimulating, savory salad that rocks one's taste buds with its piquant, provocative flavors. I love to rustle up this quick & easy dish as a healthy, delicious evening snack - it is perfect with a hot cuppa tea or coffee. Also, this peppy & peppery dish is more than just a salad - serve it as a zesty party starter, as a quick evening snack, or as a healthy option for kids' lunchboxes.
Corn Salad can be prepared in a jiffy & is made of minimal ingredients. I love the flexibility of playing with variants of this salad - for example, replace the jalapenos with Hot chilli sauce to get different but equally amazing flavors. Combined with the tanginess of lemon juice & the spicy punch of jalapenos, each of the golden-yellow corn kernels turn into little taste bombs that will release a burst of flavors in your mouth and make you relish every scrumptious spoonful. Besides the salad being non-fattening, the jalapenos provide nutritional benefits such as fighting migraine headaches, preventing sinus infections and relieve congestion. Time to bring out the corn :)
