Heat ghee in a medium frying pan. When hot, add cumin seeds and reduce heat to medium. Add green chili and cayenne.
Step 2
Add corn and stir into the spices. Add salt to taste and cook until corn becomes soft and most of the moisture has evaporated - about 5-10 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the lemon juice. Garnish with the chopped cilantro. Serve hot as a snack or side dish. Makes four snack-sized servings.
