Description

Chowpaty style indian roasted sweet corn with lime salt and chili powder. Pre-cooking yield perfect results every time very very quickly.


Ingredients

Scale

4 sweet corns with husk on

2 tsp salt

2 tsp red chili powder

1 lime cut into 2 pieces


Instructions

soak the husks by sprinkling water

microwave them for 3 minutes with the husks (if stem is too long for the microwave you can cut the corn at its base to fit it). The husks keep the moisture in and have a steaming effect resulting in juicy grileld corn. If corn you have is de-husked, wrap in a wet towel or a wet paper towel.

Let the corn cool a bit then carefully peel it

Hold it by the peeled husks and stem or insert a skewer by cutting off the stem at the base

Use a creme brulee torch and char the corn (Alternatively you can use a charcoal grill, gas grill or stove or even a wire rack on a glass top)

Mix the salt and chili powder and squeeze some lime juice, then dip the same lime in this mix and smear using the lime onto the grilled corn to serve
