Makai No Chino/ Makai No Chevdo/ Makai Ni Khichdi/ Hot Corn Snack is a very delicious and tasty dish made using fresh corn . The grated fresh corn is cooked along with ginger garlic and chilies and has a balance of sweet and tangy taste. It is a quick and easy dish and can be enjoyed as hot snack or can be served as a side dish or packed for lunch box. It is vegan and skip asafoetida to make it glutenfree.

I have learnt this recipe from my mother in law (Geeta Shah). Traditionally, the recipe is cooked using white corn (desi makai). To key to get the perfect taste to the dish is by using the balanced  proportion of the ingredients – sugar, lemon juice and salt. If you are using desi makai you will need to add more sugar. I have used fresh american sweet corn and as they are sweet in taste I have skipped adding sugar to the dish.

Also most people prefer adding milk while cooking the grated corn. I have cooked using water as at my in -law’s place cooking garlic, chili and lemon with milk is considered to be a “virrudh aahar” (incompatible food combinations). So my mother in law will not use milk to cook the dish. The consistency of the dish can be adjusted by as per your choice. Add more water if you need the chino to be loose consistency.

Traditionally fresh tender corn is grated and used in the recipe. Grate means “chinvo” in Gujarati and since the recipe is made using grated corn it is known as makai no chino in Gujarati.  It is also known as makai no chevdo or makai in khichdi. However if you have corn kernels (frozen or fresh) you can grind them to a coarse paste in grinder and use.

 

So friends do make this easy, quick and delicious recipe for your loved ones and share your feed back with me!!

Till then khao dilse, khilao dilse aur banao dilse…
