Now you must be wondering, corn in a cup? Is it worth spending money on corn that you can easily make at home? I for one surely asked that same question, and let me tell you, the answer is, yes, yes, and yes! I am excited for this simple and delectable creation simply because of the convenience and the pure simplicity of it. It does sound rather strange, but as my best friend says it best, and let me paraphrase because I can’t remember the exact words, “When you are having fun and enjoying your day, food that is healthy, new and conveniently available will an instant hit.” And that can’t be more true, in my opinion. We were both drawn to the colorful corn logo and the powerful corn aroma that resonated from the cart and knew it had to be tried.
Alright, let me show you what they offer:
There you have it. I am not a fan of cheese or butter in my corn and neither is my friend so we chose the Mumbai. We requested that the butter not to be added and the girl who was making it smile politely and told us no problem. The ingredients are so simple and the process of making this spiced corn is even easier. I watched the girl scoop up a cup of steamed corn which is conveniently located behind the menu, and she poured it into a metal silver bowl, like you see people preparing to toss a salad, to get ready to give birth to the Mumbai. With multiple spiced shakers, she added salt, cayenne pepper for the much needed heat, garlic powder and last but not least, lemon juice and mixed well. The result:
Delicious, delicious corn! So when we you see this corn in a cup vendor, stop by and grab a cup! You definitely will not be disappointed!
Until next time,

P.S., you can easily make this at home. I did and it was good. But for some reason, but as good when I’m eating it outside on the go.
