To make Makai masala sweet corn kernels is used that have mild sweetness but if they are not available, you may use desi corn. Corn curry has lots of variations. It can be prepared with the addition of capsicum or paneer. You may add little curd to make tangier. In recipe, I have not added amchoor powder. To give tangy flavor, I have used more tomatoes and lemon juice. Makai masala can be prepared in dry or semi gravy form.
