Assalam Aleykum. Can I use frozen sweet corn for this recipe? If yes, do I need to boil them first? Please suggest what do you serve this dish with? Jazakallah

W/Salaam, yes you can use frozen sweet corn and yes you will need to boil them first. This dish is usually a starter, but I also love it over white rice with some grilled chicken.
