Corn Bhel is this delectable, crunchy snack that combines the sweetness of corn with authentic, savoury, tangy flavours of bhel. It would be the best option for those looking for a healthy, quick snack. The classic bhel puri has been wonderfully altered in this corn bhel, where puffed rice is substituted with fresh corn kernels. This street food-inspired dish, in the Indian way, is well-balanced in textures-from crispy sev (crispy chickpea noodles) to soft sweet corn kernels. The corn bhel recipe is straightforward to make. It can be prepared by mixing boiled corn kernels with finely chopped vegetables including onions, tomatoes, cucumber, and coriander leaves. A couple of Tsps of tangy tamarind chutney along with spicy green chutney are perfect for the flavours, and a generous sprinkle of chaat masala and red chilli powder burst through the spices. On top of this, crispy sev makes this snack crunchy. At last, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds a zesty flavour to this delicious snack. Corn bhel can be prepared in countless ways, so you can make it as per your choice. You could add boiled potatoes or remove pomegranate seeds, depending on a person's preferences. It would look appetising when ready to serve at a party or as an evening snack. This is also relatively easy to prepare for breakfast. If you're looking for another tasty Indian recipe that would complement your main course, I'd be more than happy to help with an incredible dahi baingan recipe that I'm going to share with you today: creamy and mouth-watering side dish

FAQs

Can I make Corn Bhel with frozen corn?

You could easily do that. You thaw the frozen corn kernels and boil them for a few minutes until they are tender. Once cooked, remove the water and let the corn cool down before mixing it with the remaining ingredients. Frozen corn can be used just as nicely as fresh corn, saving time preparing a fast snack or meal. The rest of the ingredients- the onions, tomatoes, and chutneys- are going to blend beautifully with the corn to make the right bhel.

Can I make my Corn Bhel spicier?

You can add any more heat you want to the corn bhel. Increase the number of green chillies, the amount of red chilli powder, or chaat masala in the mixture to make it extra spicy. A generous spicy green chutney drizzle or a sprinkle of chilli flakes will also do the trick. For an added zing of flavoured, squeeze a bit more lime juice or add a pinch of black salt. The best thing about corn bhel is that it can be adjusted to any spice level to please your palate.

Can I add more vegetables to Corn Bhel?

You can make Corn Bhel even more delectable by adding other vegetables. Then there are finely shredded cucumber, bell peppers, carrots, and even boiled potatoes, which can be added to the bhel for added crunch and nutrition. A handful of pomegranate seeds would bust the bitterness, or a few sprigs of fresh coriander for a fragrant finish. More veggies than you would have thought suitable make the dish more colourful and alluring and give it a better nutritional value overall.
