The corn rib trend took Tiktok by storm and after trying it out myself I know why. They are so delicious and easy to munch on. I created a Desi version, Indian Style Corn Ribs, and they are addictive and now a family favourite.
They work so well as a snack and make the perfect barbecue addition. Don’t worry if you don’t have a barbecue, I did mine in the grill and they turned out perfect. Pre-boiling them ensures they are cooked and then all you need to do is to char on them.

This recipe will be suitable for 4 people and in my opinion the Best Corn Rib Recipe. To start with prepare the sweetcorn marinade and while the sweetcorn is cooking make the coriander chutney.
It is a perfect recipe to prepare beforehand and great for entertaining. The only thing you have to do when your guests arrive is grill or barbecue the sweetcorn then drizzle the coriander chutney and serve.
Corn Ribs Ingredients Marinade

Indian Style Corn Ribs Marinade

How to make Corn Ribs
- Cut the corn into four pieces. The husk is hard so be careful. Think an electric knife would be great. Boil the corn for about 10 minutes until the corn is soft and cooked.
- While the corn is boiling make the marinade. Mix all the ingredients together and microwave for 30 seconds just so the butter melts.
- Once the corn has boiled, lay it on an oven tray, then brush the marinade onto the corn ribs. Grill for about 5 minutes or until the corn starts to char then brush on more marinade.
- Return to the grill for another 5-10 minutes.
- Once the corn is charred and cooked drizzle some coriander chutney onto the ribs then garnish with chopped coriander and chilli flakes (optional).
