Default Corn on the cob Masala


Another great recipe snagged from
http://www.asdearassalt.blogspot.com/

This stuff is addictive. After I made this dish I mixed up a batch of
the spices, now it's ready to use in a moment.

I looked and looked for the asafoetida powder and couldn't find it.
After googling it I was so happy I didn't find it. It's also called
devil's dung, just to give you an idea as to it's odor before it's
cooked.

The recipe called for 3 corn cobs boiled in salted water, cut into
chunks and a lot of different spices.

Start with oil and add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Then onion and
fry well. Then add the ginger and garlic pastes.

Lovely blend of spices. Note the chili powder is to taste so you
control the heat level. I used a teaspoon and it has a kick to it.

Reduce heat and add roasted chana dal powder, mix well and switch off

have thick gravy, increase the chana dal powder if you find it is
watery. Garnish with coriander leaves.
