Grilled Corn Sandwich

Grilled Corn Sandwich

Grilled Corn Sandwich is a healthy and delicious recipe filled with creamy sweet corn. You can have it as snack or meal itself.

Ingredients:

• 10 slices sandwich bread
• 1 cup boiled corn kernels
• 1 finely chopped onion
• 1 finely chopped capsicum
• 1 tea spoon oregano
• 1 tea spoon chilli flakes or chilli powder
• salt as required
• grated cheese or cheese slices
• butter as required
• salt to taste

Method:

Heat some butter in a pan. Add onion and saute it for a minute. Then add capsicum, saute it for another minute. We don't have to cook the vegetables, the crunchiness of the vegetables should be intact. Now add boiled corn, chilli flakes, oregano, little chilly powder and salt. Mix well and turn off the heat.

Take two slices of bread and apply butter to both the slices, on one slice add grated cheese or cheese slice, then take some corn mixture and spread evenly on the cheese.

Now cover it with other slice of bread and grill. I have grilled it in an electric sandwich griller. If you don't have a griller you can make it on a tava. Serve it with tomato ketchup.

Your yummy grilled corn sandwich is now ready.

Corn Upma

Corn Upma

This is one of my favourite dishes.I have learnt it from my Grandmother.She makes it with corn cobs but today I had corn kernels so thought of trying it and it came out really well.

You may want to try this recipe at home.

Ingredients:

• 15 corn cobs (neither too fresh nor too old) or 3 cups corn kernels- whichever is available.
• 6-7 green chillies
• 2 finely chopped onions
• 7-8 curry leaves
• 1/2 tea spoon mustard seeds
• 2 tea spoon cumin seeds (jeera)
• 1/2 tea spoon hing
• 1/2 tea spoon haldi
• 2 table spoon dry coconut (roasted and grated)
• salt to taste
• sugar to taste (optional)
• 2 table spoon coriander leaves
• grated coconut as required
• 2 table spoon oil

Method:

If you are using corn cobs, grate and keep it aside.

(after this step the remaining method of preparation is same whether you use corn cobs or corn kernels)Today, I have used corn kernels.

Now, grind green chillies, cumin seeds, corn kernels or grated corn cobs, 1 table spoon of coriander leaves, salt, sugar and dry coconut in a grinder into a coarse paste.

Now heat oil in pan then add mustard seeds and when they splutter, add hing, curry leaves, hing, haldi and onion. Fry it till the onion becomes transparent.

Now add the corn mixture and mix well.

Cover and cook till it becomes thick.It takes almost half an hour to cook.Once it is cooked add grated coconut and coriander leaves. Mix well.

Serve hot and enjoy the dish.....
