Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 cup onion masala
- 1 16 ounce package frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup diced bell pepper I like red and green for presentation
- 2 teaspoons kasoori methi dried fenugreek leaves
- 1 teaspoon amchur powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon roasted cumin powder*
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne adjust to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan or dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add cumin seeds and once they begin to brown, add the onion masala and the corn and mix well, until the onion masala coats the corn (this will take a few extra minutes if starting with frozen onion masala).
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir-fry for 5 minutes or until the bell pepper softens a bit.
Notes
Roasted cumin powder is highly aromatic and has a more intense flavor than regular (unroasted) cumin. Do not substitute this with regular cumin as you won’t get the right favor. I always keep a jar of roasted cumin powder in my spice cabinet.
To make roasted cumin powder: heat a skillet over low heat and dry roast cumin seeds (I usually do 1 cup) for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the color of the cumin changes to a dark brown. Turn off the heat and allow the cumin seeds to cool down. Place the cumin into a spice grinder and blend until smooth. Store in an airtight jar and use within 6-8 months for the most flavor.
