Ingredients:
Instructions:

- Reduce the heat to medium and cook the corn for about 7-10 minutes, or until the kernels are tender.
- Use tongs to remove the corn from the pot and set them aside to cool slightly.
- While the corn is cooking, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Once the butter is melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the chopped coriander leaves and chili powder until well combined.
- Place the cooked corn cobs on a serving platter or individual plates.
- Generously brush or drizzle the butter mixture over each cob of corn, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Optionally, you can sprinkle a little extra coriander and chili powder on top for added flavor and garnish.
- Serve the buttered corn immediately while it’s still warm. Enjoy as a flavorful side dish to your favorite main course or as a delicious and spicy snack.
Tips:
- Choose fresh sweet corn for the best flavor; look for cobs with bright green husks and plump kernels.
- If you prefer more heat, you can increase the amount of chili powder or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based butter substitute.
- When boiling the corn, make sure not to overcook it to maintain a slight crunch.
