Corn kebab recipe, learn how to make corn kebab with step by step and full video recipe - Both baking and deep fried version!

Kebabs are very easy and versatile. You can bake, shallow fry, deep fry or even air fry as per your convenience.
After trying Moong dal kebab, this is my second kind of kebab attempt at home. Check out my Hara bhara kebab recipe in this website.
Jump to:
I learnt this from a cookbook like my last kebab recipe. Just did few changes to suit our taste.
Very simple, I have made it in combination oven, even if you don't have oven, you can try grilling in pan or just deep fry or shallow fry them as the original recipe calls for.

I have updated the post multiple times with pictures and videos. So, the pictures might be different.

Notes
- You can deep fry simply if you want, without baking.
- Butter adds a great flavour for kebabs, when you bake it.
- I didn't add garam masala and red chilli powder, still the spice level was ok with the pepper powder. But you can add garam masala alone if you want that flavour.
- Don't skip coriander or mint,it gives a lot of flavour to this…

Brush with butter or oil. Do anyone ask why one of the kebab is only half? Yes yes I tasted it..
Enjoy with green chutney or simply chilli tomato sauce. Enjoy when its hot !
The corn, butter, pepper, onion, coriander and mint, lemon makes a wonderful blend of flavours!
You can deep fry the kebabs too, like below in the picture.

Hi sudha, if you click on the picture in which I have showed grated corn and the cob, you can see skin which is still there in the cob itself almost 50%. Only the top half gets grated. Not the bottom part. That upper part is 100% edible. It won't do any harm to tummy...

Annapoorani says
Raks...got a query and wanted to get it clariifed...I have got an oven...normal basic model of IFB...I have medium,high and low options for teh heat settings and timer settings...apart from the above 2 options I don't have any options...Will I be able to bake or prepare pizzas using it?I am totally ignorant and just curious to know...Have not tried baking though...Thanks in advance.
RAKS KITCHEN says
Hi annapoorani...may I ask you what kind oven it is? If its a microwave oven then I am afraid you cannot bake ... If its a combination oven then sure there should be some specific temperature settings... But there are recipes you can find online to.cook in microwave oven. You can try out those.
RAKS KITCHEN says
Hi rev, I am using a Panasonic oven here. So far its great. My MIL has an LG combination oven. That's also very nice... I am also very new to baking and all these ... Never tried or heard much about ovens from others too... Sorry I can help u only this much...
Plateful says
Each time I visit and see you kebab recipes I'm like -- I need to try them now!! These look so good and I'm intrigued by the ingredients too.

You grease the aluminium foil? Do you take out when it is hot or after it cools down?

Tried it today came out very well. I am thinking of adding pander next time.
Thanks!
madman vjimad says
hi wish to try the corn kebab but frying in oil. i can see in your ingredients list there is 2-3 tblsp of oil but on the method you say mix everything except the oil. so i wish to know what will we do with the 2 tbsp of oil then? and also on the picture the one you deep fry you mention butter. so i wish to know how much butter must we put. thanks
Raks anand says
Not 2-3 tbsp, its tsp 🙂 Its for step 5. Drilling over the foil. Butter quantity also I have mentioned as 1 tbsp.
Tahir says
Awesome Recipe Thanks For Sharing. Being a Vegetarian, This Will Amazing and Equally or More EnjoyablecThan The Meat Kebabs!!
