Mexican Street Food - Corn Chili Lime
See my other recipes in English at - Vadani Kaval Gheta
This was about 2 years ago, I had to stay in Mexico for 15 days for work. My coworkers there were little worried about me not eating any meat or milk, cheese etc., how would I survive there. But I was happy and never had to sleep hungry. After long I got to eat Papaya, Mangoes, Chikus. Guavas. I ate different kinds of corn dishes. Same old corn but was enhanced with different flavors. I loved this particular recipe of hot and sour corn. I don't get to eat Indian Bhutta so I love have these in a bowl. I ate similar dish at Corn Corners in India but bright red color was missing altogether.
3 cups water
2 cups corn kernels (Yellow or White)
Freshly squeezed lime juice from a lime
1 tbsp red chili powder *
2 tsp salt
Add 1/2 tsp salt to water and start boiling. Add corn kernels when water comes to a boil and lower the flame. Meanwhile mix salt, chili powder and lime juice to make paste. Add couple of teaspoon water if needed. Now take couple of ladle full of corn without any water to a cup or glass. Add a teaspoon of chili-lime paste to the corns mix well and serve a small piece of lime and a spoon. You can add more chili-lime paste if needed and enjoy warm hot and sour corn!
