Good ol' bhutta or a fancy gelato: How's your monsoon menu featuring corn?

Nothing spells nostalgia like roasted corn on the cob A contemporary take on Indori bhutte ka kees The obvious signs aside, food is the ultimate barometer of seasonal change. And the arrival of monsoon is marked by the carts that dot the sides of the road, stacked with the best corn produce, and the aroma of charred corn wafting enticingly. Be it the abundant bhutta, the traditional bhutte ka kees or the upmarket buttered corn latte – the (not so) humble corn revels in its versatility – blending in sweet and savoury dishes across cuisines with ease. 'Corn's slightly sweet, earthy flavour pairs perfectly with the spicy, tangy seasonings our taste buds yearn for when the weather turns cool and damp. Secondly, corn is comforting, whether grilled, boiled, or stir-fried, its warmth and chewiness satisfy both hunger and heart. It's also easy to adapt into hearty soups, pakoras, chaats, or khees, making it ideal for the snacky, cosy moods that rain brings,' shares Chef Reetu Uday Kugaji. Kugaji adds, 'Corn triggers memories – of school holidays, roadside stalls, village fields, and shared bites under umbrellas. It's affordable, familiar, and deeply rooted in regional Indian kitchens. So, monsoon craving for corn isn't just about flavour, it's about comfort, climate, and connection to the land and our collective food memories.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Yeni Toyota Proace Cargo, bambaşka yere taşır! Toyoto Şimdi Keşfet Undo Is corn actually good for health? Corn is not only delicious, it comes packed with nutrients too. US-based nutritionist Mary Sabat said in an article reported by BodyDesigns, 'Corn is a carbohydrate-rich food that provides energy for the body, and is a decent source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6, folate, and magnesium.' She adds, 'It can add variety, texture, and flavour to a meal,' she says. 'Just be mindful of portion sizes and aim for a well-balanced plate. ' Adds sports nutritionist Pallak Shah, 'Corn can be part of a balanced, regular monsoon diet if consumed in moderation and prepared healthily — boiled, roasted, or added to soups and salads. Add protein-rich toppings like yoghurt or paneer, or toss boiled corn with onions, peppers, and herbs for a delicious and wholesome snack. Corn has a moderate glycemic index, so diabetics can enjoy it in moderation. Pairing it with protein or fiber-rich foods can help reduce the glycemic index even further.
