Oooo.. It’s raining ..

Let me make some Sweet corn Vadas for my family..

Do you want 2 know how?? Common let’s make it together. This is an excellent appetizer from the Maharashtrian cuisine! 

Now a days the markets are loaded with delicious fresh sweet corn where one can make a variety of dishes with it.

In India, corn is called as butta or makka or makki, Mekke Jola. Most Indians love to eat roasting the corns on the charcoal or boiled especially during rainy and winter season. Makke ki Roti is very Indian flat bread made from corn flour and truly a delight to our palate during winter season in North India.
Fresh kernels have been much lower in calories than field corn and other cereals like wheat, rice, etc. Their calorie mainly comes from simpler carbohydrates like glucose, sucrose than complex sugars like amylose and amylopectin as in cereals. 


Corn is a good source of phenolic flavonoid antioxidant, ferulic acid. Several research studies suggest that ferulic acid plays vital role in preventing cancers, aging, and inflammation in humans.

Fresh sweet corn has a nice, sweet taste, smooth texture, appealing to eye and complements with any other vegetable if added in mixed vegetable curry, Biryani ,  soups or salads etc.
