A tantalizing combo of tender corn and capsicum cooked in milk and tempered with indian spices, makai capsicum cannot really be called a customary gujarati dish, but the younger generation definitely enjoys this off-beat vegetable preparation as it is low on spices and ghee.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked sweet corn kernels (makai ke dane)
- 1 cup finely chopped capsicum
- 1 tbsp ghee
- ½ tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
- 1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
- 2 tbsp plain flour (maida)
- 2 cups milk
- ½ tbsp sugar
- ¼ tsp white pepper powder
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat the ghee in a non-stick kadhai and add the cumin seeds and ginger-green chilli paste.
- When the seeds crackle, add the flour and sauté on a slow flame for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the corn and capsicum and sauté on a medium flame for another 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the milk gradually, while stirring continuously to avoid the formation of lumps and cook on a slow flame for 4 to 5 more minutes or till the mixture becomes thick.
- Add the sugar, pepper powder and salt and mix well.
- Serve hot.
Notes
You can use a whisk to stir while adding the milk into the vegetables to avoid lumps.
