Description
Indian Corn Salad is a versatile and refreshingly bold dish that enhances any meal with its captivating flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked corn kernels
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1/4 cup diced tomato
- 1/4 cup chopped cucumber
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 green chili, minced
- Juice from half a small lime (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground roasted cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chaat masala
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon red chili powder (to taste)
- Black salt, to taste
Instructions
- Begin by assembling all the ingredients listed. The key here is to ensure that your veggies are chopped into similar sized pieces for uniformity. Mince the green chili carefully if you prefer more heat, or remove the seeds to lessen the spice.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, onion, tomato, cucumber, cilantro, and minced green chili. Add half the lime juice and toss the contents of the bowl until everything is well incorporated.
- Sprinkle the ground cumin, chaat masala, black pepper, and red chili powder over the salad. Gently mix the spices into the salad using a wooden spoon. Adjust the black salt and lime juice based on your taste preferences.
- Let the salad sit for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld, bringing out the full depth of the Indian spices. Just before serving, give it a final toss to distribute the dressing evenly.
Notes
Taste and adjust salt and lime juice before serving for perfect seasoning.
