Corn Chaat with Peanuts
A vibrant chaat is sure to please guests as a delicious appetizer or as a quick and easy mid-day snack! Made with easy ingredients and within 15 minutes!
Servings: 5 cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups corn,, frozen
- 1 cup peanuts
- 1 tablespoon oil,, I used vegetable oil
- ½ red bell pepper,, diced
- 1 small tomato,, diced
- 1 small red onion,, diced
- 1 garlic,, minced
- 1 juice of lemon
- 1 tablespoon chaat masala,, see notes
- ½ teaspoon cumin powder
- ¼ teaspoon red chili powder
- salt to taste,, see notes
- cilantro, , for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium pot, fill with water and bring to a boil. Add frozen corn and boil for 5 minutes or until corn kernels start floating. Drain and let cool.
- In a medium pan, heat oil at medium-low heat. Add peanuts and let them lightly brown for about 8-10 mins while stirring constantly. The peanuts will brown fast so don't let them burn! Once they're toasted, remove from heat and let cool.
- In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well. If you prefer, add salt to your taste.
Notes
- If you don't have chaat masala, other substitutes that work well are garam masala or pani puri masala. The ratio will be slightly different for each one. I recommend starting with 1 tablespoon and add more as needed.
- The masalas have salt included so I recommend tasting the chaat before adding salt and adjusting to your taste.
