Chilli Corn Carne (Veg)

The Veg version is very tasty..

The other day I was watching this cookery show on TV. The hostess prepared Chilli Corn Carne. That gave me the idea to make Veg version of it or rather make it without the meat coz. it contained lot of veg stuff besides meat. So I was like let me try it withou meat. Believe me it was delicious.

Another reason was that she served it with Foccaccia . I have not mentioned in my previous post that one of the reasons for not trying out Foccaccia for so long was that I didn't know what to pair it with. I am so glad I tried both of them together and that day we had an unbelievable dinner at home. Both my hubby and my son gorged on it.

To my surprise Veg. Chilli Corn Carne tasted equally good with Parathas.
