Spiced Curly Corn Riblets With a Lime Pickle Raita

Crazy delicious!!… this is the first time I’ve made corn ribs and was so chuffed with the result, a total game changer!  These totally give you the same satisfaction as you get when eating ribs off the bone… corn on the cob is a thing of the past, people! 🤣🤣

Marinated in bold Indian spices… turmeric, chilli, cumin, coriander, dried mango powder, chaat masala and gram flour, then deep-fried, making each corn kernel almost crisp but still popping with juiciness and sweetness on the inside.  

Once fried, I sprinkled them with chaat masala and then to counter the spiced flavours, I made raita with lime pickle achaar and yoghurt.  The combination of the crunchy spiced corn with citrusy lime yogurt was a match made in heaven.
