How to store fresh corn cob for long time...

I like corn subji, grilled corn cob, steamed corn cob, etc. Today I want to share with you how to store corn cob for long time. Last week I brought too many corn as they were in deal so I thought of  using eventually.

I cleared husk and the leaves of corn and cleaned them with a tissue paper and then placed corn cob (raw) in plastic bag and put them in refrigerator. It stayed good for about 5-6 days. You can grill them, make chaat and use different way.

Note :- If you keep corn in refrigerator with husk and leaves it will not stay good more than 2-3 days. So remove husk and leaves and then store them.
