Monsoons in India are when corn recipes trend, because it is available in abundance. One such trending corn recipe is the Barbecue Corn Dip, which uses grilled corn instead of raw or boiled kernels, partly because the smoky flavour comes from that. You don’t need fancy grill equipment to grill the corn; just charring them in a pan will do, before cutting the kernels off the cob. Grilling also brings out a unique sweetness that plain corn lacks, which dominates the flavour of the corn dip, along with the cheddar, cream cheese, and sour cream. The nutrition of corn is what makes this one of the best and simplest corn recipes out there, despite it being an indulgent party dip like this one. A medium ear of corn has around 75 calories and just a gram of fat, while still having carbohydrates, protein, potassium and a good amount of dietary fibre, so you are not eating a filler, empty-calorie ingredient. This particular dip skips the oven and cooking, so you get an effortless corn recipe in a matter of minutes that is mouthwatering and perfect with chips of any kind. The best thing about this corn dip is that it’s textured thanks to the corn, onion, jalapeño, bell pepper and cilantro. You can easily consider this one of the Tex-Mex dips among corn recipes that tastes as good as it looks intriguing. Make sure that after you grill your corn, you let it cool down; otherwise, the heat and moisture of the corn will impact the dairy products, making them runny and not scoopable.

Grilling gives the dip its smoky flavour, but boiled or steamed corn kernels can be used in a pinch for a milder taste.
