- 1 tbsp Butter: salted or unsalted.
- 1 tsp Oil: 1 tsp to prevent butter from burning.
- Paste: 4 Garlic Cloves, 1/2 inch Ginger, 1 Green Chilli
Vegetables finely chopped:
- 1 small Onion.
- 1/2 cup Cabbage.
- 1 small Carrot.
- 1 small Capsicum Bell Pepper.
Sauces & Spices:
- 1/2 tsp Chilli Flakes.
- 1 tsp Tomato Sauce or Ketchup.
- 1/2 tsp Schezwan Chutney adjust to taste.
- 1/2 tsp Oregano.
- Salt to taste.
Toppings:
- Processed Cheese 1 cube, grated.
- 1/2 tsp Mayonnaise optional.
- Chat Masala or Black Salt optional, for sprinkling.
Instructions
- Boil the Corn: Pressure cook or boil the corn kernels with a pinch of salt until soft. Drain the water and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat a pan on medium flame. Add butter and a teaspoon of oil. Once melted, add garlic, ginger, and green chilli paste. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add Onions: Add the chopped onion and sauté lightly. Do not brown them; keep them translucent.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the chopped cabbage, carrot, and capsicum. Add a pinch of salt. Sauté for 2 minutes on high heat. Note: Keep the veggies crunchy; do not overcook them.
- Add Spices: Stir in the chilli flakes and mix well.
- Mix in Corn: Add the boiled corn to the pan. Sauté for 1 minute so the corn absorbs the flavours.
- Add Sauces: Lower the heat. Add oregano, tomato sauce, and Schezwan chutney. Mix everything thoroughly.
- Make it Cheesy: Grate the cheese directly over the corn mixture. Mix well on low heat until the cheese melts.
- Serve Hot: Turn off the heat. Optionally, mix in mayonnaise for extra creaminess. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with chat masala or black salt if desired.
