  • 13 tsp lemon or lime juice (depending on how tangy you want it)
  • 4 tbsp chopped fresh coriander leaves

Instructions

  1. Boiling the corn: Heat water in a pot. and once it starts to boil, add in the fresh corn kernels, and boil for 3-4 minutes. Drain the water, and set aside.
  2. Masala corn: Heat skillet or pan over low-medium heat, and add in the vegan butter. Once the butter starts to melt, add in the boiled fresh corn and cook for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in all the spices and fresh coriander. And just like that – you have homemade masala corn! Enjoy!
