Corn Malai Sabzi – Sweet Corn Curry with Cream Cheese in 15 Mins

November 24, 2015 32 Comments

This Corn Malai Sazi (corn curry with cream cheese) is a recipe I’ve shamelessly stolen from a friend, Divya, who served it at a dinner she hosted at her new apartment. I have made it about 5-6 times since and always gotten good feedback on it. It’s ridiculously simple and lends itself well to variations.

Corn Malai Subzi / Corn Sandwich Filling Recipe

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! πŸ™‚

    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! This makes a great main dish for a tailgate party or a get-together.

    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 πŸ™‚
    A similar looking corn with cheese is a favorite with us, but that's absolutely different flavors.

    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!
