“Can I have one corn? This looks quite tasty,” he said before asking the seller to make one for him.
The seller started making the corn by first igniting his stove by connecting it with a car battery through wires. Then he proceeded to cook the corn and apply a mix of lemon and black salt to it.While the influencer was apprehensive of the dish he took a bite of the "strange" battery converter-induced corn on the cob and said that it was "surprisingly good."“It's obviously a little too burnt, very salty, very limey, but it's still delicious.
It has a very nice kick to it. It's not spicy at all," he said. He gave the charred corn cob a rating of 8 out of 10. Although the price was Rs 30, the creator gave Rs 50 to the vendor.
The video has received 2.3M views on Instagram with 54.3K likes and numerous comments, with people commenting on the influencer's reaction to the popular street dish."Burnt corn is a fascinating flavor! I love it," wrote a person in the comments."It's not really burnt it's just charred and it's delicious but I rather would have a Mexican make it for me" expressed another."Salt plus butter works well too," wrote one recommending another combination."Its not burnt btw. Its charred. If its not at least a bit black Its not gonna taste good," pointed out another.
