Substitutions - If you don’t have Frank’s® RedHot® Original Sauce, you can skip it or use any chili powder or paprika instead. Instead of seasoned salt, use regular salt. Use vegan butter to make this a vegan snack. The key in this recipe is the masala and the way the corn is charred. Indian spices definitely bring a big flavor to the grilled corn on the cob game. Grilled corn is also a popular snack to have when on the beach. Growing up, my dad and I would eagerly wait for the Monsoon to start. The sound of this street food vendor hawking his wares on a rainy day outside our house was like music to my ears! These and Ragda Patties were his favorite street food snacks! It’s been so many years since I last ate street-style corn cooked the Indian way! Unfortunately, I always end up visiting my home in Mumbai during the summertime and so never get to enjoy this dish because it is seasonal. I envy all the Insta pics that I see during that time of the year where all my friends are relishing grilled corn while I am left sulking. But this year, I decided to put an end to this self-inflicted misery of mine. I decided to make Bhutta Indian style. Since summer has just begun, we wanted to have our friends over for a casual hangout. As most of them are Indians who miss home food just like me, I thought this would be a nice opportunity to cook something to excite their Indian taste buds. I wanted to surprise my guests with my unique take on corn. I wanted some specific ingredients to make the spice rub. Since I am a regular shopper at Walmart, that is where I went to search for my secret ingredients. 🙂
These two ingredients worked so beautifully together to create a flavorful spice rub suited to the spicy Indian palate. The flavor is all-important! The right ingredients can instantly elevate your grilling experience - and trust me, these products did just that!!! I strongly suggest you use these ingredients when you make this recipe. You’ll see what I’m talking about! Pre-heat your grill to medium-high. Grill the corn by turning occasionally until the corn is evenly charred and cooked. The amount of charring is a personal preference (some prefer light, while others prefer well done). I like it well done. Remove the corn from the grill and immediately brush the corn with melted butter. Make sure the corn is coated fully, because who doesn’t love lots of butter on their corn?! Plus, it will help the spice rub better adhere to the corn. Liberally sprinkle the spice mix onto the corn on all sides evenly. After this, rub the corn with lemon. Traditionally, a lemon is cut in half and rubbed over the corn to ensure even coverage, but you can even squeeze a lemon over it (be cautious here – lest it becomes too sour). Garnish the corn with cilantro and serve immediately. Be careful when handling the hot corn!
