Sweet Corn Sundal Recipe

Sweet Corn Sundal Recipe for Cooking from a Cookbook Challenge.

It is only recently that Lil dude decided to check out vegetables other than potato,cauliflower and peas.And his new found love is sweet corn!!

He loves buttered corn seasoned with salt and pepper. The other interesting fact is that he even wants it for his snack box.

We are cutting down biscuits and similar stuffs.So I am on the lookout for dishes that are healthy and also easy to prepare.

Nowadays it is more of sundal and dry fruits and nuts. But this sweet corn sundal is the one that he wants at least thrice a week! Lil Angel is how ever happy with anything that I pack for her!

So coming back to this corn sundal recipe, it was taken inspired from the book – Bookworms and Jelly Bellies. When I got a copy for review ,I was so surprised to see that almost all the recipes were something that the kids would love to eat and the ingredients were available!

In the book,this sundal comes as Corn sundal with coconut confetti,inspired by the story- Petu Pumpkin-Tiffin Thief written by Arundathi Venkatesh.

I have made some changes to the original version and here is my kids favorite snack box recipe!

This is not only a great dish for the snack box, but also a healthy one to go with the tea time coffee / tea and can also be a part of the lunch menu!
