Instructions
Grilled corn is very easy to make and so much fun when it's homemade.
1. Peel the skin of the corn. I didn't want to hold the corn in hand completely so I used stainless skewers and inserted them at the end of the corn .
2. Now switch on the stove and show the corn directly on fire as shown in pic. Keep rotating the corn to all sides, so it doesn't burn on one side . This will take 2-3 mins. Once done, mix chilly powder,salt and chaat masala together in a small bowl and keep separate.
3. Now take the sliced lemon and dip in the spice mix nicely and start spreading directly on corn while it is still hot. Otherwise just squeeze the lemon juice well coated on hot corn and finally sprinkle the spice on top. Its up to you how you want to do it.
4. Yummy grilled corn on stove is ready to eat.
