2. Soak the cashew nuts in milk for 20 mins. Now grind the ingredients under the ‘To Grind’ list to a smooth paste.
3. Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. Once they crackle, add cumin seeds. In the same pan, sauté the chopped onions.
4. Once they turn golden brown, add the chopped capsicum. Fry them for around 5 mins till they are soft but still crunchy. Now add the cooked sweet corn kernels.

My Notes :

We can replace cashew nuts with Almonds or poppy seeds.

We can also use the frozen sweet corn or the canned variety. I had fresh corn cobs. So I used them.
