Oven Roasted Corn On The Cob#BakingBloggers

I love having roasted corn on a charcoal fire, this is a famous street food in India. But as we age and have dental problems, enjoying these charcoal fire corns is not possible. But do not fret, here is a easy and yet delicious solution to enjoy your favorite street food. Oven roasted corn on cob, so juicy and delicious, with nimbu and mirch marke...yum... After making these oven roasted corn, you find this better than the charred ones on street carts. Buy tender corn, keep the tightly wrapped leaves called the husk intact.

Ingredients
2 Ears Fresh Tender Corn
1/4 Teaspoon Each Salt and Red Chilly powder
Half a Lime

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C for 15 minutes with both the elements on. 
Wash the corn skin well and keep it aside.
Place corn husks directly on the oven rack and roast for 40 minutes or until corn is soft. Let it sit in the closed oven for 10 minutes. 
After 10 minutes remove it out. 
Wear gloves and then peel the corn husk, the silk threads too come out very easily.
Mix the chilly powder and salt, dip the cut lime into this mix and apply it on the corn.
Enjoy!!
Eating this juicy corn.. yum .. yum.
