Makki Ka Soheta

The soheta is a spicy combination of the corn and chicken. It also can be prepared with bajra (millet) instead of corn. In Rajasthan, a sour vegetable called 'kachri' is used. Since it is not not available all over India, so here we have used pomegranate seeds instead of Kachri.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• Corn on the cob - 3
• Ghee - 100gm
• Onions - 150gm
• Sliced boneless chicken cut into small pieces- 500gm

Method of Preparation:

Boil, cool and grate the corn kernels on the cobs. You may also use canned corns in that case, roughly chop. Heat the ghee, add the onion and fry till brown. Add the ground paste and sauté over a moderate heat till oil separates. Add the chicken pieces, curd and sauté for some more. Add hot water and cooked corn. Cover and cook till the chicken is done. Stir in between. The whole dish should thicken to the consistency of porridge. Remove, sprinkle coriander leaves, lime juice and split green chillies.
