Ingredients
  

  • 400 gm frozen corn kernels ((3 cups))
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 3 tablespoon chickpea flour
  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1- inch ginger peeled and grated
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 cup water

For Tempering

  • 1 tablespoon Ghee or butter
  • 1 dry red chili
  • 1 teaspoon Garam Masala powder
  • ¼ cup fresh coriander leaves finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a small mixing bowl, stir yogurt and chickpea flour together. Mix well to free from any lumps
  • Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds.
  • After mustard seeds start popping, add cumin seeds.
  • When cumin seeds start sizzling, add grated ginger and saute for few seconds.
  • Then add yogurt and chickpea flour mixture.
  • Mix well and add turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and red chili powder.
  • Mix well and cook for 3-4 minutes or until mixture thickens.
  • Add corn, water, and salt to taste. Stir well.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, turn the heat on medium-low and cover the lid.
  • Continue cooking for 15-20 minutes or until corn kernels are cooked. Stir the curry in between to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • In a small saucepan, heat ghee or butter over low heat and add dry red chili and Garam Masala.
  • Stir and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Pour this tempering over the corn curry, mix well.
  • Stir in chopped coriander leaves, and turn off the heat.
  • Take the curry in a serving bowl and serve hot.

Serving Suggestions

  • We love to have this curry with Rice. But it goes well with Roti or Paratha as well.
  • Corn in Yogurt Sauce and Jeera Rice makes a satisfying and filling meal.
  • Corn Kadhi is delicious on its own, so enjoy this curry as a soup for lighter lunch.

Storage for Leftovers and Reheating

  • This curry is best served on the same day. But if you have leftover, store it in the airtight container and refrigerate for up to two days.
  • Corn Kadhi will become thicker after refrigeration, so warm it in the pan. And add a few splashes of water to adjust the consistency. Also, adjust the salt if needed after adding some water.

Notes

  1. If corn is in season, you can use fresh corn instead of frozen.
  2. Use plain yogurt, homemade or store-bought, but do not use Greek yogurt.
  3. For the tangier curry, use sour yogurt.
  4. Mix yogurt and chickpea flour well into a smooth paste, and make sure not to have lumps.
  5. To make this Kadhi sweet and sour, add a teaspoon of sugar.
  6. Instead of red chili powder, you can also use chopped green chili or green chili paste.
  7. Tempering of Ghee enhances the taste of this curry, so do not skip it. However, you can use as little as 1tsp of Ghee instead of 1tbsp.
