Corn tomato bhurji

I love corn since childhood. In the process of formulating new dishes made using corn I finally invented some of the dishes like Corn tomato bhurji, Corn paratha, Corn cutlets etc. Corn tomato bhurji is one of my personal favorite, easy to make with simple ingredients.It can be perfect side dish with bread. It can also be best option for breakfast, for tiffin or side dish in a veg meal with fulka.

One basic thing I would suggest to make any corn dish tasty is that corn kernels should be tender n not dry. I don’t buy ready made corn kernels(sold in packets) from market whereas I remove corn kernels from the cob on my own.You should use this corn kernels fresh (within 3-4 days) and if you use them after refrigerating for long time then they happen to dry out and loose moisture and taste.
