Masala Corn – A 10-Minute Spicy Snack You’ll Crave


🌽 Intro / Story Section:

It started at a mall kiosk. Warm, buttery corn in a little paper cup, spiced just right and handed over with a tiny spoon. One bite, and I was hooked.

Back home, I recreated it in my own kitchen — and honestly, it’s even better. Masala Corn is one of those recipes that checks every box: quick, healthy(ish), comforting, and totally customizable.

Now it’s my go-to snack for rainy evenings, lazy Sundays, or whenever I want a burst of flavor without a full meal.
