Ingredients:

• 4 medium sized corns
• 2-3 green chillies
• 1/2 inch piece of ginger
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1-2 teaspoon chilli powder
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• Salt to taste
• A pinch of Asafoetida
• Chopped coriander and grated coconut for garnishing

Preparation time: 10 mins

Cooking Time: 20-25 mins

Method:

• Grate the corn with a hand grater to make a coarse paste. (You could also use a food processor or mixer grinder but it will affect the taste. It tastes better if you use the hand grater.)
• Finely chop the ginger and green chilli.
• Add oil in a pan. Add asafoetida and mustard seeds till it splutter.
• Add green chillies and chopped ginger.
• Add corn paste, turmeric, chilli powder and salt. Stir it occasionally to make sure that no lumps are formed. Cook it for approx.10-15 mins until the liquid in the corn paste gets dried off and the colour of the mixture changes to golden yellow.
• Add milk and water. Continue stirring till its consistency becomes like halwa or upma.
• Add sugar and lemon juice.
• Garnish it with chopped coriander, grated coconut and serve hot.
