Corn on the Cob - Indian Style
Equipment
- 1 barbecue grill
Ingredients
- 8 cobs corn
- 1 lemon or lime (cut in half)
- salt, red chili powder, and pepper (to your taste)
Instructions
- Shuck the corn (use only fresh, not frozen), and place the cleaned corn on top of the grill over medium heat.
- Let the cobs sit until you hear the corn start to pop, about 8-10 minutes. With BBQ tongs, keep rotating the cobs. It chars a bit. The whole process should take less than 10 minutes. It takes longer if you're using a gas grill.
- Now rub half cut lime or lemon all over the corn.
- In a bowl, put a mixture of salt and pepper and some paprika or cayenne powder, if you like it spicy.
- Dip the flat end of the lime in the mixture and rub it over the corn. The smoky flavor of the grilled corn combined with the tangy lime and spices is delicious.
- If you do not like lime, then top it with butter and sprinkle the corn with salt and pepper and enjoy!
Notes
You can roast corn on a gas stove, but it takes much longer. I fare better using the gas stove with a perforated tortilla warmer, but it is messy and tedious.
