Corn and Dill Canapés
by Tarla Dalal
Pleasantly-flavoured sweet corn and peppy dill are a match made in heaven! Held together by a luscious sauce of milk and plain flour, you get a succulent filling for dainty canapés.
The Corn and Dill Canapé gets all the more exciting with a garnish of cheese and a topping of hot and sweet sauce. The pleasing off-white coloured filling dotted with yellow and green, looks very appealing with cap of grated cheese and a spot of spiky sauce atop it. So appetizing it looks, you can’t wait to bite into one!
