Corn chaat cups are colorful, tangy, and perfectly bite-sized, bringing together sweet corn, chutneys, and spices in crisp phyllo shells. Topped with sev and pomegranate for crunch and freshness, they make a vibrant Indian street food–inspired appetizer that’s as festive as it is easy to serve.
In a mixing bowl, combine boiled corn, tomato, onion, pomegranate seeds, cilantro, mint chutney, tamarind chutney, red chili powder, cumin powder, chaat masala, and salt. Toss gently until evenly coated.
Just before serving, spoon the corn chaat mixture into the phyllo cups, filling each generously. Top with sev and garnish with extra cilantro.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
Assemble just before serving to keep the phyllo cups crisp.
For parties, serve the chaat mixture and cups separately so guests can build their own.
You can adjust spice levels by reducing chili powder or adding more chutneys.
