Street Style Tawa Corn — crispy and chatpata, this is the ultimate monsoon snack! With fresh corn, peanuts, and veggies tossed in an Indo-Chinese sauce, cozy up on a rainy afternoon with this and a cup of karak chai for all the vibes!

WATCH HOW TO MAKE STREET STYLE TAWA CORN:

We’ll start by boiling our corn until tender, making sure it’s still nice and crisp. Use a knife to gently remove the kernels from the cob.

Now, heat some oil on a tawa and once hot, we’ll add to this corn, dried red chilies for heat, and paneer (or tofu). Give this a mix and in goes ginger garlic paste and boiled peanuts. Stir fry for a few minutes and add soy sauce, vinegar, chili paste, tomato paste, honey, ketchup, and chopped cilantro.

Let this sauté for a few minutes until it’s all combined and now we’ll add in some fresh veggies. I’ve used red and green bell peppers along with onions. These add a lovely crunch and pop of color.

Add some spices like chaat masala for a chatpata kick and this is ready to enjoy! Garnish with sesame seeds and spring onions if you’d like and I love serving these in paper cones for the ultimate street side feels!
