Sweet corn is available in plenty and the most common street food available here also in Manipal now-a-days is the masala roasted Sweet corn and is really very yummy. Since charcoal is scarce at homes now, we are unable to prepare at home and enjoy the same. We can roast it in the oven but the taste and the flavour which we can feel and enjoy with that charcoal roasted sweet corn is really different.
