Yummiest Cornbread

Just before diwali sometime I saw this cornbread from Nandita of SaffronTrail and it positively looked very very yum so I decided to try my hands at it. I love the slightly nutty flavour of corn in anything and I am glad I did because when she says the best ever cornbread I agree with her… it was just divine

What I used

• cornmeal or Makkai ka atta or maize flour – 1 cup
• whole wheat flour flour – 1/2 cup
• baking powder – 1.5 tsp
• salt to taste
• sugar – 1 tsp
• buttermilk – 1 cup
• olive oil – 2tbsp
• large eggs – 2 nos
• milk – 1/2 cup
• flax seed powder – 1 tsp
• frozen corn kernels – 1/4 cup
• fresh coriander leaves chopped a handful
• jalapenos chopped – 2 tbsp
• cumin seeds – 1 tsp

How I made it

• In a bowl mix and sift all dry ingredients i.e flours, salt, sugar, flaxseed powder and baking powder together
• In another bowl whisk all the wet ingredients together i.e eggs, buttermilk, milk and oil. Whisk till well blended
• Now mix the wet ingredients in the dry ingredients just till incorporated.
• Add the jalapenos, corn kernels, coriander leaves. Like Nandita I also added a few spoons of brine of the jalapenos here.
• Pour in a greased loaf tin. I also lined the tin with aluminium foil as I find the loaf easy to remove if its lined and I had run out of baking/parchment paper
• Bake in a preheated oven at 200C for about 20 minutes or so till a skewer comes out clean from the centre
• We had it with spicy green chutney and tomato sauce and a tall glass of orange juice. Perfect for breakfast
