Ingredient Highlights

Sweet Corn

• Natural sweetness balances the cheese and spices
• Use fresh cobs or frozen kernels, both work well

Butter + Garlic

• Forms the flavour base
• Garlic gives that irresistible aroma

Maida + Milk (White Sauce Base)

• Creates smooth, creamy sauce
• Cooking maida in butter removes the raw taste

Cheese (Processed / Mozzarella + Cheddar)

• Makes it gooey and rich
• Cheddar adds flavour, and mozzarella adds stretch

Seasonings

• Pepper → mild heat
• Italian seasoning → herby flavour
• Chilli flakes → light kick for adults (can reduce for kids)

How the Cooking Comes Together

First, corn kernels are boiled briefly in salted water until tender and kept aside.

Butter is melted in a pan and finely chopped garlic is sautéed gently until fragrant (not browned).
Maida is added and cooked for a minute to form a smooth roux.

Boiled milk is added gradually while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. The mixture thickens into a smooth white sauce.

Seasonings — salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and chilli flakes — are mixed in and cooked briefly to blend flavors.

Now the boiled corn and cheese are added. Once the cheese melts, the sauce becomes rich, glossy, and coats every kernel beautifully.

If it gets too thick, a splash of warm milk brings it back to perfect creamy consistency.

Serve immediately while hot and stretchy. 😋

Pro Tip💡: Always add warm milk slowly while stirring to keep the sauce smooth and extra creamy.

Storage & Reheating

Storage

Reheating

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Adding milk all at once → Causes lumps

• Letting it sit too long before serving → Sauce thickens as it cools
• Always serve hot for the best texture.
