Butter Corn- Is there anyone who can say no to it?! Mittu prefers mild flavor than the masala cup corn. She always demands her dad to get it whenever she sees it. And she will ask for it even in local theaters where cup corn is not in the men and that is when I started making it at home.

About Butter Corn
Butter Corn is made by first cooking corn then tossing it with butter, salt, pepper powder, lemon juice and chat masala powder. There is nothing fancy about the recipe, its very easy with the available ingredients in your pantry. You can make them for your kids.
Now even the little one is fond of corn so I make it often. I have been making this at home for the past 10 years now I pack it up when we go out films and surprise the kids when both are bored.
There are only rare times when I get 100% satisfaction with my clicks, as I always have a feeling I could have clicked or styled better. But yes this time I experimented with a different lighting and am completely satisfied with my clicks…Yayyy!!!

Expert Tips
- Make sure to add seasonings while the corn is hot so that it blends well.
- You can even make it plain by using just butter.
- You can add mixed herbs if you want or plus or minus the spice as per your liking.
- Butter corn is usually mild and low in spices.
- You can also add a pinch of red chili powder for extra spice.
