Sweet Corn Sandwich with Creamy Cucumber Spread




It so happened that last week one of my mom's friends sent over about 15 corn cobs from her farm. I had farm fresh sweet corn at my disposal (too much of it) and the wheels in my mind started churning. And they kept churning until last evening when I felt like having a sandwich and lo! then it clicked, a sweet corn sandwich! How elegant!

I hope you give this sandwich a go.
Let me know how it turned out for you in the comments below.

Recipe:

Cucumber spread
Grind soaked cashews with little milk, salt and pepper to a smooth paste.
Add diced cucumber and fold.
Refrigerate for 2-4 hours.



Sandwich
Heat butter in a pan. When it starts frothing, add onions. Saute till they turn translucent.


Add corn, chopped chillies and salt. Mix well.


Dissolve cornflour in milk. Add to sweet corn. Keep the flame low.
