Corn Mania- A food event

Monsoon is in its full swing and with the pitter patter raindrops comes the Corn cobs, also know as bhuttas. One can see it everywhere be at the Sabzi mandi or at roadside thelas or bhuttawalas selling the corn cobs roasted over coal fire and rubbed with chilli powder and salt. I love having it this way due to the smoky flavour it gets when roasted over coal. Similarly one can prepare many yummy, healthy and delicious recipes using corn like the corn rice, corn tikkis, corn upma etc.

So why don't we explore  and experiment dishes using this golden globules that is so high in nutrient, a good source of vitamin B1 and Vit B5. Corn a rich source of foliate essential for the regeneration of cells , its also high in fibre aides in digestion. I am sure everyone loves to include Corn/bhuttas in their diet, so why don't we share the different nutritious recipes from our kitties in this season when its found abundantly around us.

This event is about dishes made out of Corn, so dish out as many recipes as possible post them at weliciousdelicious's event " CORN MANIA".
