How to Make Corn In Yogurt

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon of ghee in a small, covered frying pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds and 1/4 teaspoon fenugreek seeds. Cover and cook until the mustard seeds begin to pop (about 1 minute).
  2. Transfer the spice mixture to a mortar and pestle. Add 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 1-inch piece of ginger, finely chopped. Grind into a coarse paste.
  3. Set the spice paste aside.
  4. Heat a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of ghee, 1/4 teaspoon asafetida (hing), and 2 cloves of minced garlic.
  5. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and sauté until golden brown and tender (about 5 minutes).
  6. Add 1 cup of water, the prepared spice paste, and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Stir in 2 jalapeños, finely chopped; 2 cups of fresh or frozen corn kernels; 1 cup plain yogurt; and 1 tablespoon of butter.
  8. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until heated through and the flavors have melded.
  9. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) before serving.
