Makai ki subzi – Sweet corn kernels in gravy

The cuisine of the desert is as exotic and rich as their cities. During my trip to this royal region I fell in love with their rich culture, the talented people so full of life and colour and their food! This recipe ‘Makai ki Subzi’ is a regular make dish in this region, as corn is extensively cultivated in Rajasthan. The golden yellow sweet corn adds a slightly sweet taste to this subzi. I love corn be it – corn on the cob, grilled and seasoned or sweet corn soup or corn halwa, I can relish them all!

  • 2 cups sweet corn kernels, boiled
  • ¼ tsp cumin seeds/jeera
