Grilled Makka Cholam/ Corn

Makka Cholam/Corn is very much in season in the U.S right now, but I remember having them at Kodaikanal during my summer vacation. The road side vendors make it so perfect by coating the grilled corn with lemon, salt and chilli powder. This caused a perfect blend of sweetness of the corn with some salt and spice. It was a wonderful comfort food in the cool hill station that whispered summer to me. For nostalgic memories it is my entry to Eating with the Season Event Hosted by Mania's: Food Matter for the month of July.

  1. Sounds absolutely gorgeous! love the addition of chili and lime!

    Grilled corn on the cob is a firm favourite in Croatia. It is sold on every street corner in the summer, as a snack. We grill it simply, without any addition. I love your version, too!

    Thanks for the entry!
