Golden beauty

Manju Dewan

The yellow golden kernels of corn are one of the most versatile ingredients in all cuisines. What was eaten as the plain bhutta earlier is now used on the table in the form of delectable dishes. Also, easy to cook and pretty to look at are its main USPs. Here, we have combined it with macaroni to give it the Indo-fusion taste.
