Add grated ginger and sauté for a minute.

Add green chilies and chopped curry leaves. Mix well.
-
Add turmeric powder and Kashmiri red chili powder. Stir everything together.
-
Add the grated corn and salt to taste. Mix well.
-
Pour in the non-dairy milk or water. Stir, cover, and cook on low flame for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Once cooked, turn off the flame. Garnish with fresh grated coconut (optional), chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
-
Serve hot as an evening snack or light midday meal.
Recipe Notes:
-
Don’t have fresh corn? Use corn kernels or frozen corn and coarsely grind them in a mixer before cooking.
-
For extra richness, use thick non-dairy milk like coconut or oat.
-
Skip the coconut garnish if avoiding coconut for allergy reasons.
-
Adjust spice levels for kids or sensitive eaters.
