"CORNY" CANAPES WITH "CHEESY" SPREAD

Helloooo,

It's a lazy weekend. And I have decided to watch a nice movie at home, leisurely resting on my couch. And my binging arrangements are all ready. After all, how can movie-watching be fun without binging, isn't it? But, the only difference is that I'm not in a mood to binge on the usual wafers or pop-corns. I thought, why not prepare a simple snack out of corn itself? And since I'am in an absolutely weekend mood, the name of my experiment today might also sound pretty weird & whacky. So friends, here comes "CORNY" CANAPES WITH "CHEESY" SPREAD

Ingredients:

1 ¼  cup Golden corn kernels, ½ cup All-purpose flour, Butter, ½ tsp black Onion seeds, 4 cloves of Garlic, Black pepper powder, 1 tsp mixed Herbs (Rosemary, Oregano, Thyme, Basil), 1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese, 1 tbsp Lemon juice, fresh Coriander, 2 slices of Fig, 2 Plums, Salt to taste.

Procedure:

Melt 1 tbsp butter in a pan. Add chopped garlic and fry on low heat until the garlic turns golden brown. Now separate the butter from the garlic, & keep the latter aside. Blend 1 cup of the golden corn into a paste. Add all-purpose flour, 1 heaped tablespoon of grated cheese, salt, black onion seeds, 1 tsp black pepper powder & the melted butter into the corn paste. Knead fine dough. Take small portion of the dough & make small balls. Roll out the balls getting thin, round-shaped chapatis. Take a knife & cut in between, dividing the chapatti into two equal parts. Now cut out big ‘A’ shapes from each of the two parts to get triangles (You can also cut out circles if you wish). Brush a little bit of melted butter on both sides of the triangles, & bake them for 10mins at 160 C.

Meanwhile, blend the remaining cheese, ¼ cup of golden corn, the fried garlic into a fine paste. Add 1 tbsp melted butter, 1 tsp black pepper, mixed herbs, lemon juice, grated coriander & salt, & mix them well.

Once the corn canapés are baked, take them out & place 1 tsp of the cheese spread on each of the canapés. Top them with small pieces of your favorite fruits, coriander & corn. I used a sweet & sour combination of fig & sour plum. You may also go for olives, grapes & jalapenos.
