Corn in Onion Sauce

 

Ingredients:

• Corn cobs - 1
• Onion - 1 medium sized
• Ginger garlic paste - 2 tsp
• Curry leaves - 3 to 4
• Jaggery Syrup - 2 tsp or as per taste[Dissolve jaggery in water to form a thick syrup]
• Turmeric powder - a pinch
• Chilli powder - 2 tsp
• Jeera - 1/2 tsp
• Yogurt/Curd - 3 tbsp
• Oil - 3tsp
• Salt to taste

Method:

1. Boil the corn for 5 vessles in cooker - I did this as I didnt want to deep fry them. I usually feel very guilty to pour more oil for frying.......exception for vadais and few other items :)
2. Slice the corn into 1 inch pieces. I used normal corn, not sweet corn so it was a very tough time to cut them so I cut only 1 slice for pic sake others I shaved them into pieces like below:
3. Grind onions to a fine paste. Now add ginger garlic paste, turmeric, chilli powder, jeera, curry leaves and jaggery syrup to the onion paste. Mix well and keep aside.
4. Saute the corn in 1.5 tsp oil for 5mins and keep aside.
5. Now add the remaining oil and fry onion paste mixture till oil seperates, it may take some 10 mins.
6. Lower heat and add curd/yogurt. Simmer only for 2-3 mins to avoid curd from curdling. Add salt and remove from fire.

The hot and sweet juicy corns were soo tasty and different! Even we had it as such :)
