Makai Ki Subzi (Corn in Tomato Gravy) with Masala Paratha

Corn in Tomato Gravy - Makai ki Subzi
Corn in Tomato Gravy - Makai ki Subzi
Its Snowing again. Just had another Snow Storm yesterday, but it was'nt as bad as the last two ones we had this month. It makes me happy to know that Spring is just round the corner. Since kids are home- enjoying their No School days and we parents have been busy keeping them busy. This was my son's request for lunch today. I have'nt made these Parathas for a while and both my kids love corn which explains this combination. This was what we are having for lunch, Would you care to join us ....
Makai Ki Subzi - Corn in Tomato Gravy
Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 cups frozen corn(Makai)
  • 1/2 cup red onion puree
  • 1 cup tomato puree
  • 2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1 green chilli slit
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp red chilli powder
  • salt to taste
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
Preparation :Heat oil in a pan. Add the bay leaf. Add the pureed onion and saute till you no longer get the raw onion smell. Add the gingen-garlic paste. Saute for about 2 minutes. Add the tomato puree. Fry for about 2-3 minutes. Add the slit green chilli, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and salt. Mix it well. Add the frozen corn. Stir it well. Add about 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil. Cook on medium flame for about 6-8 minutes. Makai ki Subzi is ready to serve with Masala Paratha/Besan Paratha. This recipe serves 4.
Masala Paratha/Besan Paratha- Indian Bread
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup Besan/Chickpea flour
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • pinch of hing/Asafoetida
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup of water for kneading the dough
  • oil for shallow frying the Parathas
You could need a little more water when kneading the dough but do not add too much water or the dough would be too sticky to roll out the parathas.
Preparation :
Here is the way I made my Ajwain Parathas. You can make this Masala Paratha the same way. This Recipe makes 12 parathas. Enjoy the hot shallow fried Parathas with Makai ki Subzi. In fact these Masala Parathas could be enjoyed just by themselves as well.

  9. Delicious and quick to make recipes. Sabzi looks awesome and sure to taste good too. Loved the parathas. Corn is a family favourite but never tried it as a sabzi on its own. Will give a try soon.

  27. Sorry for my delayed response, how are you?

    Wow, perfect choice for this snowy weather. Its continuously raining here:( I know the kids are keeping you on the heels, since its kind of vacation - enjoy and have fun:)

    Makki ki Subzi sounds wonderful...I should do that sometimes...I am still in search of our native field corn, which tastes better than sweet corn...
