Chipotle Corn Salsa

If you love Chipotle's corn salsa, we've got a recipe that comes pretty darn close. It's sweet with medium heat, and it adds a burst of color to any dish you're cooking at home. We recommend it for tortilla chip dipping or for sprinkling over taco salad, a burrito bowl, or classic tacos.

This salsa tastes best when you make it ahead of time and allow it to chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes before serving. This lets the flavors to mingle and harmonize together. Since this is a fresh salsa, be sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator; they'll taste good for another two days.

Ingredients
1 large poblano pepper
24 ounces frozen corn
1/2 cup finely-chopped red onion
1/2 cup stemmed, seeded, and finely-chopped jalapeƱo peppers

Indian Papdi Chaat

Chaat is a generic term that encompasses many versions of a sweet, salty, tangy, and crunchy dish that is served throughout the Indian subcontinent. With as many versions as there are cooks, traditions, and personal preferences, chaat can be a snack between meals but also a meal in itself, depending on the serving size and how loaded with ingredients it is. Our recipe brings you a papdi chaat, in which tangy, hot, and sweet flavors combine to make a delicious snack that's popular in northern India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.

It's also known as papri chaat or paapri chaat and the first part of the name refers to the wafers used as the base. Chaat is an indication of the type of dish: in Hindi, chaat means "to lick," so it's understandable that this is such a finger-licking-good dish. Usually made with a crunchy base, chaats are topped with sauces, yogurt, and chutneys and sprinkled with crunchy ingredients like fried potatoes, chickpeas and sev. Vegetables are also an important part of the equation, and a sprinkle of chaat masala or other powdered spices is key to finish off the dish.
