Expert Tips

• corn – Always choose fresh or good quality sweet corn (either fresh kernels or frozen). This ensures natural sweetness and mild taste. If you don’t get fresh corn you can also use frozen corn.
• cooking corn – Boil or steam the corn until soft. Overcooking can make it mushy and taste bland.
• Spices – Keep in mind that add spices to the corn only when it is hot so that it gets mixed well. You can also make it plain by using just butter. If you wish, you can add mixed herbs to it or increase or decrease the spices as per your preference.
• Spices – You can also add a pinch of red chili powder to it for extra spice. I like the mild spicy version, if you like more spice you can add roasted cumin powder along with red chili powder.

Butter corn can be served as a snack, it tastes best when hot. Butter corn tastes best when served immediately after preparation, while it is still hot and buttery.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in microwave or stovetop until thoroughly heated. If it is dry add a little extra butter.
