00:00 During the rainy season, there is nothing quite as comforting as corn on the cob.

00:04 Today, I'm going to give it a delightful twist.

00:07 We're making Tandoori Corn.

00:09 Let's get started.

00:10 We'll start by roasting this golden beautiful corn on an open flame.

00:19 I want the corn to get charred.

00:21 Comment below if this sound reminds you of chapati during monsoon.

00:25 Let's make the tandoori marinade for our corn now.

00:36 I have 1/4th cup of dahi over here or yogurt.

00:39 To this, I'm adding a little bit of salt, chaat masala 1/4th tsp, red chilli powder 1 tbsp,

00:46 1/4th tsp of haldi and 1/2 a tsp of jeera powder and 1/4th tsp of garam masala.

00:53 Along with this, some ginger and garlic which is crushed, 1 tsp.

00:59 Now, I'm going to give this a mix.

01:02 Make sure you're using a thick yogurt so that it sticks to the corn properly.

01:07 Now, I'm going to apply this marinade to our corn.

01:13 Because we have blistered the skin of the corn, the marinade sticks to it properly and doesn't slide off.

01:21 The yogurt is going to turn nice and tangy as we cook it and it's going to taste delicious in the end.

01:27 Make sure you're covering all the pearls of the corn with the marinade.

01:33 I'm going to do the same thing with the next corn.

01:37 Now, to cook the marinade, we're going to roast it on a tawa.

01:44 Make sure you're using a non-stick tawa.

01:48 The tawa has been heating up for a while on low to medium flame.

01:52 Make sure the flame is not too high.

01:55 Let's have a look at this. It has been going on for 30-40 seconds now.

01:59 Looks beautiful. I'm going to keep turning the corn.

02:03 I'm going to let this cook for 30 seconds on each side.

02:10 The yogurt will leave out a little bit of water as the corn is cooking.

02:17 This will ensure that all the flavours are packed into the crevices of the corn.

02:22 You can also add a little bit of pressure on the stem to cook the corners.

02:29 You can just lift the corn in your hand and let the tapering end touch the tawa.

02:35 A little bit of marinade will definitely stick down to the tawa, but that's absolutely okay.

02:41 Because we're going to brush this again with our marinade.

02:46 If you have a tandoor at home, it will cook beautifully in your tandoor.

02:50 But if you don't, the tawa method works too.

02:54 The second time around, I'm going to add a dollop of butter in the centre.

03:02 The corn looks ready.

03:07 I'm removing the tawa from the flame and giving this one last touch from a very high flame

03:15 to get a smoky flavour on the spices.

03:17 This smells absolutely delicious right now.

03:22 Now we're going to finish this off with a squeeze of lemon.

03:33 And we're going to let a dollop of butter melt onto it.

03:37 A tiny sprinkling of salt to balance out the flavour.

03:43 The natural sweetness of the corn pairs perfectly well with the tandoori flavours from the marinade.

03:48 Do try this recipe out and let me know how it turns out.

03:51 I'll see you next time.

03:53 (upbeat music)

03:56 you
