Questions

What should Corn Chaat look like when it is ready?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 2: cook until lightly charred.

Is there a substitute for Kashmiri chili in Corn Chaat?

The entry for Corn Chaat calls for 1/2 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder. In its place: Three parts sweet paprika to one part cayenne gives the color and the gentle heat.

How hot is Corn Chaat?

Moderately. The heat in Corn Chaat comes from 1 green chili, minced and 1/2 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder. For a milder plate, remove the seeds and ribs from the green chili, or use half; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.
