Fire roasted corn stir fry is a quick snack prepared with frozen roasted corn kernels. Roasted corn is stir fried for few minutes with onions and green chilies until flavors blend in. Using frozen fire roasted corn makes it easy and semi homemade.
Corn is one of my favorite foods and eat it in any form, anytime of the day. My freezer is usually well stocked with frozen corn and I usually make buttered sweet corn or sauteed sweet corn. These are my go to recipes when I need to fix something for myself.
Ever since I discovered frozen fire roasted corn kernels, it has replaced sweet corn kernels. I thaw fire roasted corn in microwave and season it to taste just like I do with sweet corn.
Yesterday when I saw Vaishali's burnt corn stir fry recipe in my Feedly, I had to make it right way. I made it yesterday itself but decide not to take pictures as there wasn’t enough natural light so made it again today on the pretext of the blog!
Whole Food sells frozen fire roasted corn and using these corn kernels makes this yet another semi homemade recipe, that is done in a jiffy! First day I used only green chilies and today used both green chilies and back pepper powder to season corn. Both tasted great! One can use a combination of green chilies, chili powder and black pepper as per your preference.

Notes
