Notes

  1. If using Pressure cooker or Instant Pot or steamer, steam the Whole corn on the cob for the timings indicated. Cool slightly and with a sharp knife simply shuck the corn kernels, they come out easy peasy
  2. If making for Navratri puja naivedyam, one can add ginger too and make it as a sundal
  3. If the corn is very sweet, slightly increase the lemon juice and chillies for a sharp flavour to adjust the sweetness
