Ingredients
Corn
- 2 cup Corn Kernels fresh
Aromatics and Spices
- ½ cup Onion Paste
- 1 tsp Garlic Paste
- 1 tsp Ginger Paste
- 1 tsp Pepper black, crushed
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds roasted
Other Ingredients
- 2 tsp Lemon Juice
- ½ cup Mozzarella Cheese grated
- 1 tsp Olive Oil
- 1 ½ tsp Salt or to taste
- 10 Crispy Cookies
- Tomato Sauce
- Cilantro Leaves for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Remove the corn kernels from the cob. Wash the kernels and boil them until tender.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Add the onion paste, garlic paste, and ginger paste. Sauté until fragrant and lightly browned. This builds a flavor base for the dish.
- Add the boiled corn kernels to the pan and sauté for a few minutes until heated through.
- Transfer the corn mixture to a food processor. Pulse until coarsely ground but not completely smooth. You want some texture to remain.
- Return the corn mixture to the frying pan. Add the lemon juice, salt, crushed black pepper, and roasted cumin seeds. Stir well to combine.
- Add the grated mozzarella cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is heated through.
- Place the crispy cookies on a serving platter. Spoon the cheesy corn mixture onto each cookie.
- Garnish each cheesy corn bite with a dollop of tomato sauce and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- This recipe is suitable for kids and parties.
- For extra creaminess and flavor, add a tablespoon of cream cheese or a splash of fresh cream with the cheese.
- For a smoky flavor, lightly roast the corn kernels before mixing.
- Add finely chopped green chilies or red chili flakes for spice and color.
- Serve over toast or as a topping for baked potatoes for a heartier meal.
Expert Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality cheese for the best flavor and melting properties. Grating your own cheese is preferred over pre-shredded.
- Adjust the spices to your liking. If you enjoy a stronger flavor, add more chili powder or cumin.
- Don't overcook the corn. It should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover cheesy corn in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
