Directions

  1. Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and heat until just beginning to smoke. Rub the corn with olive oil, then carefully lay in the pan. Cook until charred in patches and golden brown, about 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  2. Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk together the lime juice, cumin, cayenne, cardamom, chaat masala, and salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. Assemble the salad: Slice the kernels off the cobs and tumble into a big bowl. Add the tomatoes, mint and cilantro. Toss with the dressing and taste for seasoning.
