A droolworthy snack that’s absolutely easy to make, the Masala Sweet Corn Vada is just perfect to have with a cup of tea on a rainy day.
It has a very unique taste and exciting mouth-feel, thanks to the combination of crushed corn with onions, capsicum and garlic paste.
A touch of chaat masala accentuates the masaledar flavour of this vada, leaving a warm, tongue-tickling feel on your palate.
You can also have a go at other awesome rainy day snacks like the Mini Cabbage Vadas or Kand Na Bhajia.

Take a large mixing bowl and add the corn in it. Here, the corn is just coarsely crushed. It is raw and not boiled. This texture can be obtained by grinding the washed and drained corn kernels in a blender only for a few seconds.

Mix all the ingredients together carefully by hand. This mixture will not require any water as the corn itself has a lot of water. The mixture should be such that it has to hold its shape when deep fried.

- Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan and check for perfect temperature of the oil. Do a test run by first frying a very small lump of the mixture and if the mixture sinks to the bottom, the oil needs to be hotter.
-
Take a little portion of the mixture, shape into a flat round in between your palms. If the mixture is too sticky you can grease your hands with a little oil and shape them.

- Always check the temperature of the oil before deep frying anything. To do that, drop a small portion of the mixture into the oil. If it rises slowly, the oil is of the perfect temperature but if the mixture sinks to the bottom, it is still not how enough.
