Jump to Recipe

Masala Butta or Spiced fire roasted corn on the cob is a favorite street snack in India when corn is in season. Street vendors roast the corn on coal fire or open grill, use a lime to rub in the Indian spices and serve it hot. People can be seen walking around with the corn in hand.

The spices can range from just salt + cayenne/red chili powder, to one or all of the following spice additions like ground cumin, chaat masala (recipe can also be found in my book), kala namak (Indian black salt) or Amchur (dry mango powder). Or rub Mint cilantro chutney all over! Try this favorite spiced corn for Labor day!

In the below picture, the front corn has been rubbed with the spices.
