Ingredients
Instructions
Make the Shortcrust Pastry
- Combine flour and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Tart Shells
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut out circles slightly larger than your muffin tin cups. Press the dough into the cups, ensuring they're evenly lined. Prick the bottom of each tart shell with a fork. Line with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until lightly golden.
Make the Corn Chaat Filling
- In a bowl, combine the boiled corn, chopped onion, grated cheese, red chili powder, ground coriander, garam masala (if using), and salt. Mix well.
Assemble and Bake
- Remove the parchment paper and pie weights from the pre-baked tart shells. Fill each shell with the corn chaat mixture. Bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Baked Corn Chaat Tarts
- For extra flaky pastry, chill the dough thoroughly before rolling and baking.
- Blind baking the tart shells prevents a soggy bottom. Make sure to use pie weights or dried beans!
- Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred spice level. Start with less and add more if needed.
- Feel free to experiment with other cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, for a different flavor profile.
