12. Masala Sweet Corn Cups (Bhutta Style)

Masala sweet corn served in small cups is a colourful, chewy snack that most kids enjoy, with bright spices and a squeeze of lemon to taste. One small cup per child is a good portion, and you can add a little grated cheese for picky eaters. This option is vegetarian and egg-free by default, and it’s naturally nut-free if you avoid garnishes like crushed nuts. Make-ahead: cook the corn and mix the masala ahead, then reheat gently or serve at room temperature. Presentation idea: serve in paper cups with lemon wedges and a sprinkling of paprika for colour; a quick photo of kids holding cups with tiny spoons makes for lively party shots and shows the snack's playful appeal.
