Step 1
Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a 10-inch skillet and place it over medium-high heat for 60 seconds until the oil shimmers and moves quickly when you tilt the pan.
Step 2
Add 2 cups corn kernels to the hot oil and spread them in a single layer across the bottom of the skillet.
Step 3
Let the corn sit without stirring for 2 minutes until the kernels turn the color of butterscotch and smell toasted, then stir once and cook for another 1 minute.
Step 4
Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon chaat masala and 0.25 teaspoon salt over the hot corn and stir for 30 seconds until the spices coat all the kernels evenly.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze the juice from 0.5 lime over the corn, stirring to combine all the juice throughout.
Step 6
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro over the top of the corn and stir gently to distribute the herbs evenly.
Step 7
Transfer the warm corn chaat to a serving bowl or divide evenly between two small bowls and serve immediately.
