Corn Chaat (Sweet,Spicy & Tangy Combo) & Awards !!!!

Sweet corn chat is a simple yet tasty recipe which can be done as a quick fix for kids in snacks.Though sweet corn consists of large amount of sugar in it,it has significant amount of anti oxidant properties which reduces the risk of heart diseases and cancer.This recipe can also be had as a healthy salad.We all love corn kernels so this is an easy alternative and I usually prepare it on a tired day when am not in a mood to cook anything!!




Ingredients
corn kernels 2 cups (I used the frozen bag)
onion 1 medium sized chopped
tomato 1 chopped
coriander leaves
sweet chilli sauce 2 tsp
chaat masala 1 tsp
pepper powder 1/2tsp
lemon juice 2tsp
salt




Method -Steam the packet of corn in a microwave according to packet instructions.
-If you are using fresh corn kernels,then steam the kernels in a steamer for 10-15 minutes.
-Chop the veggies,And combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and toss.
-Add in the salt,lemon juice,sweet chilli sauce,chat masala.
-Toss and ready to serve!!


Servings ~ 3 adults

NOTES
* You can add only black pepper powder instead of sweet chilli sauce.But the sweet chilli sauce gives a unique flavor to the chat.
