Self-picked corn cobs from a local farm. enjoying them differently for dinner is fun and good food.
Hello, friends all food lovers, and community, today I am very glad to share this recipe which I just invented I called Maizidli
Using the corn in a different way to make dinner. This is lightly fried food- just for 5 minutes.
now is harvesting time here in Norway most crops are ready. a few farm stands are offering pick-your-own vegetables. Here in Norway, the labor cost is high. So it is easy and profitable for them to offer self-picking. The customers can pick how much they want and pay reasonable prices for the freshest vegetables. We have one very popular stand just outside of town where they have such offers for summer to autumn vegetables as they become ready to harvest.
We were there last weekend and found their corn and beans were ready so we dropped in and picked some.
It was fun to pick quality fresh vegetables. we pick for our Sunday dinner. it is much better when they are so fresh.
We picked this much for our dinner. My husband wanted to cook them American-style, just boiling in water and served with salt, pepper, and butter.
But I wanted to make a new creation.100% vegan Maizidli
Ingredients:
1/2 cup soaked urad dal split black beans.
1 corn cob
2 cm fresh ginger
4-5 sprigs of coriander
1 green chili
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbsp cornstarch.
for sautee
1 tsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 pinches of hing
1/2 tsp turmeric
chopped chives 2 tsp
4-5 cherry tomatoes.
1 tsp avocado oil.
In the mixer jar put soaked urad dal, chili, coriander, ginger, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp cumin seeds.
Grind to a coarse paste without adding water.
Grate corn off the cob using a grater.
Now we have spice-mixed urad dal mixture, grated corn, cornstarch, and the tender and clean husks of corn.
In a bowl take urad dal paste,
Add grated corn.
Cornstarch and mix it well in a thick batter.
Take one cleaned tender husk
Put 1 tbsp batter on the husk.
and fold the husk in the center
Make all husks into pockets, like this.
In a saucepan boil the water put a metal strainer/ or use a double boiler. arrange all folded pockets on the strainer or double boiler. and steam for around 5-6 minutes.
when the husk pockets change color and become softer they are done.
when cooled a little start peeling away the husk.
The steamed maizidli come out very easily.
In a frying pan pour 1 tbsp avocado oil to stir-fry the green beans.
After beans become tender remove them from the pan.
In the leftover oil add turmeric, cumin, mustard seeds, and hing.
After mustard seeds start popping/ add all the steamed Maizidli
Sautee them for about 2-3 minutes and add chopped chives.
Add chopped cherry tomatoes fry them for about one more minute and remove from the heat.
Dinner is ready. you can serve it with tomato ketchup. I use homemade date chutney.

I stopped to say the cover looks like syncronized swimming but tamales?! Uhm, yum. Stopped for a picture, got a throwback from high school the couple years I made tamales with Michael's family on Christmas Eve. It was so fun.
Thank you.
I didn't know what are tamales before you wrote it just google it and understand what you mean. normally we use turmeric leaves to make similar traditional food. I got an idea from that to make Maizidli.
Thank you for stopping by.
What an interesting and delicious dish you've created, dear friend. Needless to say tha the satisfaction of harvesting your own food is priceless. These corn patties remind me of the sweet corn buns from my father's hometown, east of Venezuela (with a significant Indian inheritance, by the way). The flavor provided by the corn husk wrapper is delicious. Thank you for a nice post & recipe 😁
Have a great day!
Thank you for your nice comment dear friend @marlyncabrera. so you knew about similar food.
We have the opportunity to get this chance during the harvesting time otherwise the food here in Norway is extremely high price. So not only us but many people do like to take benefit of these opportunities. thanks for stopping by. :)
You've invented a delicious dish @hindavi! I was very curious to see what Maizidli was, and I love corn.
Your family must have been happy!
What a privilege and great idea to pick your own veggies straight from the farm, beneficial for the farmer and the consumer!
Hi, we make idlis using rice and Urad-dal but they are cooked in a special steamer. I just thought about that and made a batter with urad-dal and maize. another festive dessert we make in turmeric leaves as a wrap for steam I combine both Ideas to creat this one.
This is really interesting and looks amazing
Thank you :)
