JASUKE…

snacks

JASUKE
JA..( jagung..aka sweetcorn)
SU…( susu…aka milk)
KE…( keju…aka cheese)

This very simple starter is a popular street food In Indonesia.
Made with just 4 ingredients, comes together  very quickly. Easy to make and eat. The sweetness of corn,  condensed milk , and saltiness of Cheese are a good balance for each other..surprisingly a very tasty dish.

When I was growing up in Pune, India, corn was something we associated with the rainy season, where corn sellers would roast the corn on a coal fire, fanning it to cook quickly, and at the same time sending the fragrance of roasting corn into the air, thereby drawing more people to come buy their wares.😊. Then the roasted corn was rubbed with half a lime which was dipped in red chilli and salt…oh mouthwatering, can literally taste the tangy spicy corn. Much later came the association of corn to the very popular sweet corn soup.😊

1 sweet corn.( boil and remove the kernels)… I got about 225gms of corn.

While still hot add 1 tbsp of butter( I used salted butter.)
1/4 tsp salt
And about 1/4 cup of condensed milk.
Mix well and arrange in shot glasses.
Top generously with grated cheese.
And a dollop of chilli sauce.
Can serve chilled or at room temperature.
