Corn Cheese Chilli Canapés

By Chef Shruti Mahajan

Sometimes it’s the smallest things in the kitchen that make the biggest difference and Chef Shruti Mahajan is living proof of that! These Corn Cheese Chilli Canapés are her wholesome, party-ready twist on classic cheesy bites. Instead of a heavy refined flour base, Shruti uses jowar flour to create a light yet creamy, flavour-packed sauce that sits beautifully on crispy canapé bases. Topped with sweet corn and fresh microgreens, every bite is creamy, crunchy, and completely irresistible. Whether it’s a house party, an evening snack spread, or a quick bite craving, these canapés are your answer! Chef Shruti keeps her kitchen prep simple, clean, and hassle-free with Homefoil, her go-to for prepping, wrapping, and storing, every single day.

Ingredients

For the Canapés:
• 10 canapé bases
For the Jowar Cheese Sauce:
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp jowar (sorghum) flour
• 1 cup milk
• 40 g mozzarella cheese
• 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
• ¼ tsp chilli flakes
• ¼ tsp dried oregano
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• A pinch of nutmeg
• Salt, to taste
For the Topping:
• 2 tbsp bell peppers, finely chopped
• ½ cup sweet corn kernels
• Fresh microgreens, for garnish

Method

1. Heat butter in a pan over medium flame. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
2. Add the jowar flour and cook, stirring continuously, for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
3. Slowly pour in the milk, a little at a time, stirring constantly to keep the sauce smooth and lump-free.
4. Add the mozzarella cheese along with the chilli flakes, oregano, black pepper, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well and cook until the sauce thickens to a creamy, spoonable consistency.
5. Fold in the chopped bell peppers and mix gently.
6. Spoon the warm cheese sauce generously onto each canapé base and top with sweet corn kernels.
7. Garnish with fresh microgreens and serve immediately - best enjoyed warm and fresh!
