Indian As Apple Pie - Roasted Indian Corn

Take one-three ears of corn (peeled) and put them on the stovetop. Gas is great – but electric will work too. Roll the corn around with tongs while it cooks. As it does it will roast – brown and blacken. You keep turning it until the whole thing is cooked.

Take off stove and put on plate. Use corn holders.

Take a lemon and cut in half. Take out as many seeds as possible. In a small plate, put in the spices you want to use. Here’s what we use in our house:

1 teaspoon white salt

1 teaspoon red chili pepper

1 teaspoon black salt (kala namak) (This is an amazing spice that can be found in Indian grocery stores)Let the kids have their own small plate and lemon half. They then dip the lemon in the spice and rub the corn down with the halved lemon. Leave out the red chili if your kids are not used to it. Add other spices if you prefer them.
