American Corn Pepper Salt, is a healthy wholesome gourmet recipe that is made with batter fried corn kernels and stir fried with host of veggies. It is a perfect Sunday breakfast, a great inclusion to weight management diet and an incredible comfort food. It is a simple western recipe, try it and get pleased. This recipe has no cheese, or mayo, making it a complete vegan dish.

Corn is a very useful ingredient and you can make so many recipes using corns. I have made Corn Cheese Paratha, Cheese corn Momos, Potato Cheese Corn  and my favorite Corn Rasgulla Icecream, etc

I get many messages about sharing recipes ideal for weight loss plans. However, when talking about weight management diet, I would like to add the quotients of “comfort food” and easy to find ingredients. My blog is a global platform, and I am happy to get visitors from all over the world; that is one of the core reasons, for which I intend to share customizable recipes mostly. Today, nothing is out of reach, everything is available everywhere, however, the price tags differ region wise. Therefore, I want my readers to have the most accessible recipes that they can make with the ingredients they are most comfortable with.

Similarly, today in this recipe, the veggies I have used are bell peppers, spring onion and parsley. I always find it in the local market (not supermarket). However, if you do not find these veggies, or simply, just do not like them, you can very well use the alternates like coriander instead of parsley, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, banana shoots, papaya and tomato.

I never get tired of salads. I just love salads. Even though I am not as fussy about weight management and never count calories, but generally speaking, I do have a penchant for healthy eating. This recipe fills that criteria very nicely, and is something similar to salads.

While making it, make sure you cover the pan with a lid, as corn pops as soon they are introduced to heat. Open the lid only after brining your flame to simmer, do not bring your face too close to the pan when you open the lid and, use the lid as a shield, when you uncover the pan. Long story short be careful J

Deep fried corn has a very fun crispy texture, and it is equally healthy. You can serve this as a main course item, and you will not need another staple food, or side dish. You can make it light and just sprinkle a little chaat masala, or black pepper. Alternatively, you can make it fiery and spicy by adding green chilies. Enjoy it at anytime of the day.
