Ingredients

2 tbsp Butter
4 cups Sweet corn kernels frozen
½ tsp Red chili powder
½ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Black pepper powder

Instructions

Melt butter in a skillet and add the frozen corn without thawing. This way the melted ice will cook the corn itself without pouring in water.
Cook for 30 seconds on high heat, and add red chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Let the corn brown for 4-5 minutes till you get a nice color, add lemon juice and mix well.
Your fried corn recipe is done and is ready to be served.

Notes

Add meat: Adding chicken or bacon is a phenomenal way to make this dish more substantial and full of protein. They add their own flavor and their chewy texture gives a satisfying feeling.

Use fresh corn: Using fresh corn right off the cobs is the classic way to do it. Just be careful while shucking off the kernels from the cob using a knife.

Spice it up: Bring up the spice levels up to par with jalapenos, red chili flakes, or green chilies. Other than the spiciness, they imbue their aroma which makes the fried corn more irresistible.

How to store:

In the fridge: This southern fried corn recipe can be stored for 7 days in the refrigerator in an air-tight container.

In the freezer: Don't freeze this dish in the freezer as the corn will lose all of its texture and will become soggy and mushy when thawed.

Meal Prep: As this dish lasts for a whole week, you can easily make it ahead and enjoy it throughout the week as a high-fiber breakfast meal.
