Instructions
-
Prepare the Corn Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the milk and corn flour, stirring until the corn flour dissolves completely and forms a smooth mixture. Set it aside.
-
Cook the Vegetables: Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the softened butter. Once the butter melts, add the steamed sweet corn, grated carrots, chopped tomato, and green moong sprouts to the skillet. Stir the mixture well to combine.
-
Add the Corn Flour Mixture: Pour the prepared corn flour and milk mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and corn. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir continuously to ensure that the mixture thickens evenly and the corn flour is fully cooked. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the mixture has reached a creamy consistency.
-
Toast the Bread: While the corn and vegetable mixture is cooking, toast the whole wheat bread slices in a toaster or in an oven until they are golden and crispy. Once toasted, spread a thin layer of butter on each slice and cut the bread into triangles for easy serving.
-
Assemble the Toast: Spoon the hot corn and moong sprouts mixture generously over the toasted bread slices. Garnish with a pinch of red chili flakes for a bit of spice.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Corn Toast with Moong Sprouts & Vegetables immediately, alongside a refreshing glass of muskmelon juice for the perfect breakfast or after-school snack.
Tips:
- You can customize the recipe by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or peas for extra flavor and texture.
