How to make Corn ki sabji?

To prepare the Corn ki sabji, first I have cut and cleaned all the vegetables. I have used Onion, Tomato, Bell Pepper and Cilantro other than Sweet Corn.

In this recipe with sweet corn, I have used frozen Corn kernels which you can directly cook with masalas. But fresh Sweet Corn can also be used for the recipe. Fresh sweet corn kernels or Makai ka dana would require to be boiled before using for the recipe.

I have added Cumin powder, Coriander powder and Garam masala for flavouring up the Sweet corn dry curry. I have not used Green Chillies in this dish. Instead of that, I have used red Chilli powder.

At the end, I have added Lemon juice. It gives the dish a refreshing flavour and a bit of tanginess. It marries up very nicely to the sweetness of Corn and makes the dish perfectly balanced.
