Notes

Selecting Corn: Fresh sweet corn is ideal, but frozen corn works well too. If using fresh corn, ensure it is sweet and tender.
Cooking Consistency: Be careful not to overcook the sweet corn in the pressure cooker; it should be tender but not mushy.
Roasting the Spices: Properly roasting the coriander seeds and channa dal enhances their flavor, adding depth to your sundal.
Adjusting Spice Levels: Feel free to modify the number of dried chilies based on your heat preference. For a milder taste, reduce the amount or omit them entirely.
Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh coconut gives the sundal a richer flavor. If you can’t find fresh coconut, use unsweetened dried coconut.
Serving Suggestions: Sweet Corn Sundal can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature and pairs well with chutneys or can be served as a standalone snack.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving to enjoy the flavors again.
Garnishing: Consider garnishing with fresh coriander leaves or a squeeze of lime for an extra zing before serving.
