FOOD Recipe Street Hawk - er Sweetcorn How to make Nisha Kato - na’s street-hawker sweet - corn recipe By Ella Walker, PA “Nothing speaks of a late-night street market in the East more than the golden flickering embers of a sweetcorn hawker’s stall,” says Nisha Katona, star of new ITV1 series, Nisha Katona’s Home Kitchen. “The delicious combination of sharp and heat make these far more than a side-show – they are the very reason that many venture out into the streets at all.These are great cooked under the grill/broiler or on the barbecue. For extra theatre, I like to ask my guests to dress their own pieces of corn before cooking.”
Preheat the grill/broiler to high and line a grill pan with foil, or prepare a barbecue/grill for cooking.
Put the oil, salt, chilli powder and ground cumin in a bowl and stir to combine. Dip the cut sides of the lime halves into the oil-and-spice mixture, then rub all over the pieces of corn. Re-dip as necessary, until the corn is well-coated. Put the corn onto the prepared grill pan and under the grill, or place directly onto the barbecue and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning regularly and basting with any remaining spiced oil, until lightly charred and golden all over. Serve hot.
