Sweet Corn Chaat is a spicy, tangy, and savory snack made using tender sweetcorn, onion, tomatoes, and a few herbs and spices. This super easy recipe comes together in under 15 minutes and is very healthy too. I am sharing 2 ways in which I make this yummy chaat (vegan, gluten-free).

About Corn Chaat

Corn Chaat is an Indian snack made using sweetcorn kernels, onions, tomatoes, herbs, and spices. It is very healthy and filling and great to serve as an evening snack or party appetizer.

If the ingredients are prepared beforehand, this healthy chaat takes 5 minutes to come together. I make it in 2 different styles at home.

1. With Indian flavors
2. With Italian flavors

The Indian-flavored corn chaat (masala corn chaat) uses chutneys like tamarind chutney and green chutney, while the one with Italian flavors uses Italian mixed herbs and red pepper flakes.

This sweet corn chaat recipe is vegan and gluten-free; you can easily double or triple it.

Ingredients

For Indian-Flavored Chaat

To make this Indian street style chaat, you will need – sweet corn kernels, red onions, green chilies, tomato, Chaat Masala Powder, black salt (kala namak), red chili powder, freshly squeezed lime juice, tamarind chutney, green chutney, and cilantro (fresh coriander leaves).

Use fresh or frozen corn kernels.

Try my recipes to make Tamarind Chutney and Green Chutney. These can be made a few days in advance and refrigerated. Tamarind chutney lasts for as long as a month, whereas green chutney will last for about a week.

Add more or less green chilies and chutneys as per your liking. You can also adjust the spice powders according to your taste.

For Italian Flavored Chaat

To make Italian-flavored chaat, you will need sweet corn kernels, butter, Italian seasoning, onions, green bell pepper (capsicum), ketchup, and red pepper flakes.

You can also use red bell pepper and yellow bell pepper to make this chaat even more colorful.

I won’t suggest you store it! It tastes the best when made fresh. You can prep ahead of time, such as preparing the chutneys, chopping the onion and veggies, and cooking the corn. Once the prep is done, it will hardly take 5 minutes to assemble it.
