Well it's healthy for one, and very tasty at the same time. Who says healthy and tasty food dont' go hand in hand!

Nutan, who has graciously accepted to host this month's MEC, themed on Tea Time Snack, must be upset with me surely, for not sending an entry much earlier on. I wanted to take these with the evening tea/coffee, never mind I hope Nutan will not say no to these.

Sweet Corn Butter Chat in Microwave | Easy and Quick Snack for Kids

Konda and Chinnu love corns in all forms. Be it the Indian version or the Sweet corn dishes. I found that Konda especially loves this Chaat made with Sweet Corn. Recently when we had taken her for dinner at a restaurant, she only eat this sweet corn chat most than the other dishes that were on the buffet. She was going oo, aa over such a simple dish that I had to make it back home for her more often.

When I took for vegetable shopping last week, the first thing that she picked up was this pack of corn nibbles. She said I should be getting her this every week. When I made it for them over the weekend, it disappeared before I could even say anything. I just tasted one, imagine just one. They skipped their lunch for this.

Making this in microwave is very quick and easy.
