We’ve had it buttered, sprinkled with masala and even on the cob! But, this often underestimated vegetable can do wonders in the kitchen. From breads to ice-creams, a lot can be made with corn and it’s high time we put it to good use. So, grab some corn kernels from your nearest market and get cooking.

Corn Ice-Cream
This is undoubtedly one of the most unique ways to eat corn.
In a large saucepan, add milk, cream and sugar along with some corn and let them boil. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks and some more sugar. Add a cup of the hot milk mix to the yolks, stirring constantly. Add the yolk mixture to the saucepan, stirring. Cook this for about minutes or until the mixture thickens. Sieve this mix and keep in the freezer until set. Scoop and serve.

Corn Cups
Roast the corn along with garlic and 1 tsp of olive oil till the corn just starts getting brown in colour. Mix whole wheat and semolina flour, salt, pepper, parsley and jalapeno together. To this, add the roasted corn and garlic. Add the salsa to bind it together. In a greased muffin pan, add this mix and line the area. Bake the shell at 180C for about 15 mins till it sets.
