Corn in Tamarind sauce - a dish that I make sometimes, but every time it's a hit. I made this last night on a whim when I saw a corn sitting in the pantry, untouched for the past few days. I thought I will make this. In this receipe, Corn is cooked in gram flour (or besan) and tamarind pulp with our very own spices. Tamarind, which is a very intense in flavor in this dish, lends sweet and sour taste to the dish. Enjoy!!!!

Athika, this version of corn with tamarind is very new to me...must be very tangy....ummhha! Nice recipe, did u add the store bought tamarind pulp or did u make it from scratch?
Hii padma, ya this is totally new kind of a receipe. It is very tangy and yummy. The combination of corn and tamarind is good. I made the tamarind pulp at home. just soak for few minute and strain the pulp out and add it to the receipe. Thanks
