Notes: Make the yogurt mixture up to 1 day ahead. Garnish salad with seeds and chilies just before serving.
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh, frozen, or canned corn kernels
2 zucchini (3/4 lb. total), ends trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 fresh serrano chilies
1 teaspoon salad oil
1/4 teaspoon cumin seed
1/4 teaspoon mustard seed
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream (optional)
salt
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
Directions:
1. Steam fresh corn and zucchini on a perforated rack over boiling water just until zucchini is tender when pierced, about 3 minutes. Let stand until cool.
2. Slit serrano chilies lengthwise into quarters, from tip to stem, leaving chili pieces attached at stem.
3. Pour oil into a 6- to 8-inch frying pan over medium-high heat. Add cumin seed and mustard seed. When seeds pop, in about 30 seconds, add chilies and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat. Cool.
4. In a bowl, mix corn, zucchini, yogurt, and sour cream. Season to taste with salt, then scrape yogurt raita into a salad bowl.
5. Spoon oil with seeds and chilies onto raita. Garnish with bell pepper and cilantro.
