Step 1: Prepare the Corn

Carefully peel the green husks from the corn cobs, leaving a few attached at the base to use as a handle. Remove all corn silk.

Step 2: Roast the Corn

Place the peeled corn cobs directly over a medium gas flame. Roast for 5-7 minutes, rotating frequently with the husk handle, until the kernels are tender and charred in spots.

Step 3: Prepare the Street Style Masala

On a clean corn husk or a small plate, combine 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon black salt, and 1/2 teaspoon coriander-cumin powder. Mix well to form a uniform spice blend.

Step 4: Prepare the Lemon for Rubbing

Cut a lemon into 1/3 or 1/2 sections. Take one lemon piece and press it gently into the prepared spice blend, ensuring it picks up a good amount of masala.

Step 5: Apply Masala and Serve

Immediately after roasting, use the spiced lemon to rub the masala all over the hot corn cob. Apply lightly and evenly on all sides. Serve the Street Style Roasted Corn (Bhutta) hot.

• You can also roast the corn in an oven or on a grill for a similar smoky flavor.

• Serve immediately while the corn is hot for the best taste and crunch.
