Stir-fried Crispy Corn

Every time I go to Barbeque Nation with my husband and order their buffet lunch or dinner, they serve this amazing Stir-fried Crispy Corn. We are not lucky enough for we don’t have Barbeque Nation here in Kutch. It’s only when we go to Ahmedabad we end up going there. But I crave for their Stir-fried crispy corn so often. So I decided to give it a try. It was an experiment. But it turned out to be a hit in the very first try. It tasted exactly the same. So here’s the recipe for my version of stir-fried crispy Corn.

• Salt for Seasoning
• Pepper for Seasoning

Method:

• Transfer the Egg Yolk into a bowl and add a pinch of salt.
• Add the Corn and mix well.

• Now in a pan, heat ½ tsp. Oil.

Pineapple Corn Salad

My father-in-law loves any kind of salad. He’s a vegetarian and so I end up making vegetarian salad all the time. But he eats eggs. Therefore I’m glad I can use Mayonnaise. This salad has very few ingredients and so can be done in a blink. To make the salad absolutely nice all you have to do is chop the Onion and Tomato as fine and evenly as possible. Here’s a tip. Once you blanch the Corn, transfer it into bowl of cold water and ice. Also put the pineapple slice and a whole tomato before chopping into the same bowl. This will help you in achieving cold salad instantly. Also Refrigerate the Mayonnaise for half an hour before starting to make the salad.

Ingredients:

1¼ cup blanched Corn

1 Slice Pineapple cut into cubes

¼ cup finely chopped Onion

¼ cup deseeded and finely chopped Tomato

½ tsp. Powered Sugar

¼ cup Mayonnaise

Method:

• Take a mixing bowl.
• Add the Corn, Pineapple, Onion and Tomato.
• Add the Mayonnaise and Powered Sugar and toss gently.
