Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Celery for Crispy Corn

   Take a celery stalk, remove the leaves, and finely chop the stalk. Set aside.

2. 2.Coat the Corn for Frying

   Place 100g of washed frozen corn in a bowl. Add 1 tsp maida, 1 tsp rice flour, and 1 tsp cornflour. Mix well, allowing the natural moisture of the corn to help coat the flours. Add 1 tsp of water and mix again. Finally, add another 1.5 tsp of cornflour and mix until the corn is evenly coated and dry.

3. 3.Deep Fry the Corn

   Heat groundnut oil in a deep pan until hot. Carefully add the coated corn to the hot oil. Fry for about 1 minute until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fried corn and drain excess oil.

4. 4.Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables

   In a separate wok or uruli, heat 1 tbsp of the fried groundnut oil. Add the finely chopped celery and sauté. Then, add 1.5 tsp finely chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add 0.5 finely chopped onion and sauté quickly until slightly roasted, ensuring it doesn't release water. Add 50g of finely chopped mixed bell peppers (red, yellow, green) and sauté briefly.

5. 5.Season and Mix Crispy Corn

   To the sautéed vegetables, add 0.25 tsp chili powder, 0.25 tsp pepper powder, and salt to taste. Add the fried crispy corn to the wok. Pour in 2 tsp soy sauce and add 0.5 tsp sugar. Mix everything thoroughly. Finally, add 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves and 1 tbsp chopped spring onion. Mix well using the residual heat of the wok. Turn off the gas.

6. 6.Boil Corn for Spicy Butter Corn

   In a saucepan, bring water to a rolling boil. Add 300g of frozen corn and a pinch of salt (for color). Boil for 2 minutes until the corn is tender and juicy. Strain the water completely.

7. 7.Prepare Spicy Butter Corn

   In a bowl, combine 4-5 tsp melted salted butter with the boiled corn. Add a pinch of salt (adjust based on butter's saltiness), 0.5 tsp Kashmiri chili powder, a pinch of pepper powder, and 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves. Finally, add 3 tsp lemon juice. Mix all ingredients well until the corn is evenly coated.

8. 8.Serve

   Serve both the Crispy Corn and Spicy Butter Corn immediately as delicious evening snacks.
