If you like corn, this one’s a definite winner. If you don’t, well, this one could turn you around like it did my MIL!
Corn Malai Subzi / Corn Sandwich Filling Recipe
Serves 2-4
Preparation time: 5 mins
Cooking time: 15 mins
Ingredients:
2 cups of corn kernels, canned or thawed if frozen
2 onions, chopped fine
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2-3 green chillies, chopped fine
1 tsp of cumin seeds / jeera
2 tbsp of cream cheese (or hung curd)
1/4 cup of red chilli sauce (check notes)
1 small bunch of coriander leaves / cilantro, chopped fine
1/2 to 1 cup of plain curd / yogurt, beaten
1 tbsp of oil
How I Made It:
1. Heat oil in a pan and add the cumin seeds. Once it has toasted and gives out a nice aroma, add the chopped onions in. Fry until soft, pink, and transparent.
2. Next, add the green chillies and minced garlic. Fry for a minute until the garlic gets roasted a bit.
3. Add the chilli sauce and toss around to combine well.
4. Toss in the corn and cream cheese. Mix well and heat through keeping the heat low. Take care not to boil the mixture.
5. Finally, add the coriander leaves and salt.
6. Mix well and make sure the mixture is uniformly heated. Let this cool completely and mix in the yogurt just before serving.
Done! How easy was that? You can serve this with pulao or roti. I once omitted the yogurt and served this on toast as an appetizer. So so easy and yum.
Just toast some bread and add a tablespoon of this corn mixture on top.
Serve warm and enjoy the compliments!
Notes:
Like I mentioned, there are many variations to the recipe. Here are a few:
– Add more yogurt (and maybe omit the cream cheese) and make it a raita. Goes super well with vegetable biriyani or pulao
– If it’s not easy to find cream cheese where you live, substitute with cream
– Add ketchup or tomato sauce or even one pureed tomato instead of the chilli sauce for a different flavour
– The corn I use is not the sweet kind so make sure you check before buying. If it’s sweet corn, the taste will change significantly.
Huge thanks to Divya (and her mom) for this awesome keeper of a recipe! 🙂
This sounds and looks so good. I think I will use less red chili sauce.

We had this tonight and my family loved it. My husband’s preferred sandwiches. We added a pickle on the side and had with some plain potato chips. Mmmm! Try also our family’s favorite sandwich, snap on this one: http://www.gourmetrecipe.com/recipes/crock-pot-pulled-bbq-beef-brisket-sandwiches!

Delicious filling,love the cream cheese and corn combo…yummy:)
I love yogurt being used in curries like this ..but never tried it with sweet corn this way. Great flavors!!
No malai in this creamy curry makes it even better 🙂
A similar looking corn with cheese is a favorite with us, but that's absolutely different flavors.
I add milk instead of curd….this version looks extremely yum…polka dots ladle is something which is catching my attention…:-)
Looks so simple! I am slightly wary of using yoghurt in a filling but looks like a good compliment to corn. The ladle of yours is so good!
Ive mentioned in the post archana. I omit yogurt when using as sandwich filling
My folly! Totally skipped the notes section 🙂
