Direction of preparation of Buttered corn
Preparation of buttered corn is very easy. You can select either fresh corns or frozen corns. Fresh corns give better taste, but if not available, use the frozen one.
- Wash and clean the sweet corn thoroughly and remove the kernels using a sharp knife. Set aside.
- Transfer this corn kernels into a saucepan and pour water just enough to cook them. I have used only 1/2 cup of water and that was enough to cook them nicely without losing its crunchiness and sweetness. Add salt, just a pinch. It should not overpower the sweetness of sweet corns. Otherwise, you can steam them in an idli cooker or in a rice cooker for five minutes. But I prefer the pot method.
- Once the corn cooked nicely and the water evaporated completely, you can switch off the flame. Then add butter and mix well. The butter will melt due to the heat entrapped inside the corns. You can also add some pepper, chili powder or chat masala and experience taste difference.
- Buttered corn is ready, Enjoy with your kids.
Happy cooking
