Instructions

Remove the corn kernels by scarping fresh corn with a sharp knife. (Instead of scraping the kernels out, you can also grate the corn using a manual grater.) (Omit this step if using frozen kernels.) Coarsely grind the corn kernels in a food processor. (Omit this step if grating fresh corn.) Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. After they crackle, add asafoetida, turmeric powder, curry leaves, and green chilies. Stir fry just for a few seconds, and add the shredded (/grated) corn. Mix well and cook on a low - medium flame, stirring every now and then, till most of the moisture is gone. (It took me about 15 minutes for this.) Add salt, sugar (omit the sugar if using sweet corn), and lemon juice. Mix and stir for a few more seconds and then turn off the heat. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve.
