Preparation

Step 1
Pour the oil into a frying pan and set over medium heat.
Step 2
Meanwhile, combine the mustard seeds, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and bay leaves in a small cup.
Step 3
When the oil is hot, put in all the whole spices. As soon as the mustard seeds pop, a matter of seconds, add the ginger and green chiles. Stir once or twice, and then add in the corn. Stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the salt and cream. Continue to stir and cook for another minute. Turn heat to low and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until all the cream is absorbed. You can pick out and discard the cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon and bay leaves if you are serving those unaccustomed to large whole spices in their foods.

I had everything except the pepper, so decided to try it out. It was surprisingly delicious! I am adding this to my personal recipes. May or may not try out the hot peppers next time!
