Sometimes, in our chaotic life, we all experience those kinds of days when we tend to become immovable. We take a pause. We want to relax. We just want to take a break from our daily routine.
We make promises to ourselves, to dedicate a day to our inner selves, not to move from the couch, finish Netflix marathon, finally finish the book that we have been reading since more than three months, and likewise many such unfinished and incomplete projects that we are longing to tick off from our to do list. And finally arrives the D Day, when we actually switch on the pause button. We take a day off from work, switch off our phone and switch off our mind from the daily chaos. Come whatever may, we are determined to achieve our goal.
Although, we can get away with anything. But, there is one thing for which we need a solution. The solution for our hunger pangs. What are we going to do? On lazy days like these, either we have to endure the pain or we have to depend on outside food.
But, what if I say we also have another alternative and, what if I say the alternative that I am going to reveal in this post is better, tastier, healthier and most important quicker. Yes, the recipe I am going to share is actually quicker than the time you spend to decide on the dish from the thousands of menus listed by hundreds of restaurants through apps. The recipe I am talking about is none other than Butter Cheese Cup Corn.

Recipe: Butter Cheese Cup Corn
Preparation Time: Within 10 minutes Equipment used: One mixing bowl, one vessel to boil the corn kernels
Ingredients:
- 250 gram corn kernels (I have used readily available corn kernels from local store)
- Around ½ tablespoon chopped garlic
- Water to boil corn kernels
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon grated cheese
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper powder
- Chopped green chillies (optional)
Method:
- Wash the corn kernels
- Boil the corn kernels after adding chopped garlic pieces. This will allow the aroma of garlic spread across corn kernels
- Once boiled remove the vessel from hob and let it cool down for two minutes
- Now drain the water from corn using a strainer
- Shift the boiled corn kernels into a mixing bowl
- Add butter, cheese, salt and pepper and mix it.

Boil corn kernels after adding garlic.
Drain the water from corn kernel with a strainer after 2 minutes.
Add butter and cheese after shifting the corn kernels in a mixing bowl.
Add salt and pepper and mix properly.
Tips:
- While purchasing check the quality of corn cob or corn kernels pack very carefully, as corn tends to perish fast
- Grated cheese really go well with this dish. I did not have cheese blocks and hence used cheese spread. Nonetheless, it would not have any impact on the taste
- Add salt carefully according to your taste, as butter and cheese already contain good amount of salt
- The quantity of butter is provided (check in Ingredient section) considering the butter is at room temperature
- The dish tastes best when it is fresh and hot. Don’t wait long to have the dish after you prepare it
