Indian Fresh Cornbread Recipe
Indian Recipes

Ingredients:

1 cup/8 oz/250 g
1/2 tsp/2.5 g
2 tbsp/30 g
11/3 cups/5 oz/150g
1-2 tbsp

fresh corn kernels
salt
chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves
all-purpose flour
ghee (clarified butter), melted
extra flour for dusting and ghee for serving

Method:

1. In a blender or food processor, grind the corn and salt together until it is finely pureed.

2. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and add the coriander. Add the flour, a little at a time, continuing until the mixture is knead able (it should be slightly sticky).

3. Divide the dough into 12 then roll each piece out to a circle about 6in/10-15 cm in diameter. If still sticky, use extra all-purpose flour to absorb the moisture. Once rolled, brush each bread with a little ghee.

4. Heat a griddle or frying pan and add one bread and cook until the underside is set and spotted with brown. Turn over and cook the other side. Remove the cooked and keep warm in foil while cooking the other breads the same way.

5. If you would like to duplicate the smoky roasted flavor that these breads would have when cooked over an open fire, simply hold each bread over a gas flame for a few seconds, but do not burn. Brush with more ghee and serve.
