There was a corn lying in my house for two days which my hubby had brought. I was just thinking and thinking what can be done with this. So I thought of trying something new. When I decided to make this dish. All you want thsi have this corn and rest of the ingredients are amost available in any of the houses.
This is a main course dish. This serves two people for a meal.
Ingredients:

2. Corn- /Gonjal/Jola as called by some - 1 no
