I know I have blogged Cornbread before – a low calorie version with milk and another moist Jalapeno and Cheddar Skillet version. But looking at the various variations (along with Northern and Southern version debate), I realise I haven’t even scratched the surface as far as Cornbread goes. This fierce cornbread patriotism doesnt come as a surprise to me – an Indian! For a country that’s relatively small, our culture and food are abundant with very thin demarcation lines leading rise to many an argument over what belongs to whom. There is an undercurrent of loyalty over many things but for food is abundant. Who wins? Not sure – but in this case, my family sure does while munching on a delicious piece of cornbread dipped in Vegetarian Chilli (recipe to follow of course!)
I am a D.I.Y wannabe/a self proclaimed nature lover and my husband, an engineer, has a penchant for building. Our combo together has given rise to our passion for growing our own food. Irrespective of the space available, I am looking to grow something – be it a simple herb or a container vegetable while my husband tries to solve the problem (that’s what he does at work anyways!) Our “Home Garden” is our joy and I try to update stuff about it as and when possible in our (* shameless self promotion alert *) CIY facebook page and Chef In You Instagram. Follow Us, if you haven’t already. Anyway, I digress. This time we grew corn for the first time and were blessed with lots of ears of corn. These were juicy and fresh tasting. Much to the chagrin of my husband who wanted to enjoy them all raw, I chose to use some in this cornbread.
I mean it was not intentional. I had some cornmeal that was begging to be used and..er…OK, that’s my excuse anyway. Shhhh…keep that between us! For something that boasts of wholegrain and wholesome ingredients, it doesnt taste *healthy* as kids and husbands generally say. Why did the term “healthy” in food even become a bad word I wouldn’t know! My point is, you wouldn’t know healthy hit you right where it matters when you eat this cornbread. Its THAT GOOD! It has a texture somewhere in between its dense Southern and Cakey Northern counterparts. So, lets not go there. Just enjoy these dipped it some luscious chilli and get healthy content!(...)
