Bought fresh corn from the market, boil it and remove its boiled grains from the cob. Add your favorite ingredients to make it more healthy and add some kinds of stuff along with cilantro to bring taste to your fresh corn salad. AND YOU HAVE DONE your fresh corn salad with cilantro.
Most people love roasted corn in India. Here people do not remove its grains from the cob rather they enjoy holding the cob and small bites on its grains. Spices and lemon juice are spread over the grains. During rainy reason, there are so many people who sell whole corn across the country. You can see many temporary roadside stalls of roasted whole corn from eastern India to western India and from northern India to southern India. Though in western parts people boil those grains then roast it if customers wish otherwise mostly people prefer boiled corns. But in eastern parts of India, most people love roasted corn that too without boiling.
So here in Kolkata, you will find roasted corn is little hard, that is why I normally buy raw corn from those stalls and boil those at home and then roast if I need. But this time I wanted to make the fresh corn salad with cilantro (coriander leaves). So I just boiled those corn and remove its grains. I bought two whole corns on the cob for Rs 16 from a roadside temporary stall. That local street food vendor was selling roasted spicy corns for Rs 10 each but for raw corns, he was selling it for Rs 16 only.
