. It is an

alternative to putting butter on your corn -- no calories to speak of. This

is what Indians (from India) do, although they put on each ingredient

separately. It can also serve as a salad dressing -- the Indians use it as a

dressing for a salad composed of slices tomatoes, cucumbers and red or white

onion.

I call it No-Guilt Corn Dressing:

1/2 c. lemon juice

2 to 2 1/2 t. salt (according to taste)

1 to 2 t. chili powder (according to taste)

1/4 t. ground pepper

2 t. roasted* and ground cumin seeds (optional)

Mix together and apply to corn-on-the-cob with a pastry brush -- or squirt

from a squeeze bottle (this is a bit messier).

*Roast seeds on a thick or iron frying pan until aroma comes and seeds

darken. Then grind to a powder.
