Roasted or steamed corn always tastes good.Its more famous in important tourist spots.In goa on every beach you will find many roasted corn stalls.Here corn is roasted and lemon juice, salt and spices are applied and sold.Eating it at this places is always fun.I had been a big fan of this roasted spiced corn from childhood.I make it often at home and enjoy it.I had never tried to modify its preparation.But somedays before i came across this recipe and found it very interesting as the mariantion applied was different and even the roasting procedure was different.It was very much different from the usual roasted corn.So i tried it and just loved it.It was nice buttery and tasty.This recipe will taste best only when american sweet corn is used as it is more sweet campared to our indian corn.This recipe has got its name as "corn on the cob" cause of its special roasting and serving technique.Corn on the cob is the culinary term for a cooked ear of freshly-picked maize from a cultivar of sweet corn. The ear is picked while the kernels are still tender. Other varieties called field corn are edible as "roasting ears", but are not tender or sweet. Ears of corn are roasted, steamed or boiled, with or without their green husks. The husk leaves are then removed before serving.Corn on the cob is usually eaten while still warm. I am sure you will love it.
INGREDIENTS:
1 whole american sweet corn
1 table spoon butter
1 table spoon chopped corainder leaves
1 table spoon finely chopped garlic cloves
salt
METHOD:
Peel the corn and keep aside.Do not throw its husk out.
Take a bowl and add butter in it.Then add chopped garlic, salt, corainder and mix it well.Apply a thick layer of this paste on the corn.
Cover it fully with kept husks,Just one thin layer enough to cover it fully.Then tie a long thread fully around it,and roast it evenly on hot charcoals or even gas will do.Do not allow the tied husks to fall.
when husk is almost black that means the corn is done.Remove the tied husk and serve hot.
NOTE: Use only american sweet corn for this recipe.
Preparation Time: 10 mins
