Sweet Corn Kurma

Sweet corn being one of my favourite, I have tried  n number of recipes using sweet corn ....like sweet corn salad, soup, paratha, upma pulao and the list goes on. Thanks to the super markets and sometimes road side vendors who sell the whole corn cob for just rupees 12-15. So lets make a spicy kurma with a sweet ingredient.

Note

Sweet corn kernels can be either precooked in cooker or can be added after onions since it does not take much time to cook.

If you want a thick or dry gravy just sprinkle some water.
