Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Masala Corn Chaat

For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
If you prefer a crispier chaat, you can roast the corn kernels in a dry pan before adding the butter and spices.
Feel free to experiment with other spices to customize the flavor profile. A pinch of garam masala or cumin powder can add depth.
For a more substantial snack, add some chopped onions, tomatoes, or sev (crispy chickpea flour noodles) as toppings.
