It is delicious! I used just one chilli pepper, and found it gently spicy. I also added some lime juice for a little extra flavor. This is a 5-minute recipe, especially if you use frozen corn.
Slicing the kernels off the cob can get a little messy, though. I managed to do it!
Spicy Corn with Mustard Seeds makes 4 servings
INGREDIENTS:
- 6 to 8 ears corn (or use 4 cups thawed frozen corn)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
- 1 or 2 serrano chiles, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- Salt
- 1 tablespoon minced cilantro
- 1 -2 teaspoons fresh lime juice, to taste
METHOD:
1. Slice kernels off corn, if using fresh.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or sauté pan over medium-high heat, add mustard seeds, and cover. When seeds stop popping, lower heat to medium and add chiles; stir 30 seconds.
3. Stir in turmeric. Add corn and salt to taste. Toss, turn heat to low, cover, and cook until corn is tender, about 5 minutes (cook frozen corn about 1 minute). Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Serve warm.
