Summer Delight (mmmmmm.....)
Mmmm..... A nice way to celebrate the warmth of summer..
Here is a special little recipe that I concocted last night.. Perfect for those evenings when you want to sparkle things up!
Aptly titled 'Summer Delight' it is a rare combination of homely cooking and a touch of magic..
Ingredients
1 Bowl of American Corn kernels.
50 gms paneer (cottage cheese)
50 gms raisin OR black grape
25 gms cashew
5 leaves of pudina (mint)
1/2 Tablespoon Jeera seed (cumin)
Cooking medium - ghee or butter
Salt and Pepper
Preparation time - 15 minutes
Serves - 2 people
Preparation
Remove the corn kernels from cob and wash under running water.
Cut paneer into small pieces (roughly 5 mm each side)
Shred pudina leaves.
You start with a bowlful of juicy, nutritous american corn..The kind in which each golden kernel beams a sort of radiance.. Boil the corn for a couple of minutes till it is soft and munchy..
Place the paneer pieces in a bowl of hot water for a couple of minutes. This softens it and eliminates the extra chewy texture.
In a frying pan, pour 1 teaspoon of ghee and jeera seeds and heat.
When hot enough, pour the boiled corn and paneer pieces and fry for 4-5 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the corn and paneer into a plate or serving bowl.
Garnish with raisins, cashews and finally shredded pudina.
Summer delight is ready to serve!
ps 1 : This goes very well with light mosambi juice.
ps 2 : Summer Delight can also be served slightly chilled.
ps 3 : Add honey and cornflakes to give it a new twist (contributed by mom)

Mustard oil flavour might be overpowering, but worth a try..
I guess the number of tablespoons depends on the size of the table!
Maybe just 1 regular tablespoon would be sufficient.. I'll update the recipe..

My friend, do we have a budding chef in here? I could almost taste the dish by the end of the recipe. Well done.
