Roasted Corn Salad

Today I asked my husband what he want in lunch and he replied I want some salad. I thought let's make something new so he can enjoy his lunch in office. I checked my refrigerator and found out frozen whole kernel golden corn. So now lets make from this a roasted corn salad. Following are the ingredients which we need to make roasted corn salad:-

1. Take 1-1/2 cup of frozen whole kernel golden corn
2. 1 medium sized tomato de-seeded and finely chopped
3. 1 green chilly finely chopped (optional)
4. 1 lime juice
5. 2 tablespoon green and red bell pepper finely chopped
6. 2 tablespoon red onion finely chopped
7. 3-4 basil leaves  finely chopped
8. 1/2 teaspoon chat masala ( or as per taste) which is available in Indian Grocery Store
9. 1 teaspoon canola oil
10.  Cilantro finely chopped for serving
11.  Salt as per taste
12. 1 tablespoon Raw mango finely chopped

Take a non stick cookware preferably flat from bottom add oil in it and grease the pan with the oil with the help of paper napkin. Add frozen whole kernel golden corn to it and roast till you see dark brown spots on it or they become tender. Continuously stir the corn don't leave it just to get roast itself otherwise it will burn. Let roasted corn cool down completely and then add all other ingredients and mix it well. Top it with finely chopped cilantro. 

 Look at your salad how tempting it looks and enjoy it. You will feel really different from the traditional salad due to roasted corn in it.

Sometimes I serve this like roasted corn salsa with corn chips as an appetizer.
