SWEET CORN in ONION SAUCE

I Normally cook the corn cobs directly on the stove top, while its still hot I rub lemon juice, chat masala over it, and have it. I came across this recipe, while reading a book  ( some tamil magazine ) and wanted to try immediately, as it had yogurt, Sugar, chilly powder in it, thought it will be a khatta meetha recipe. We really liked the onion flavor blending well with the spices along with the corn kernels. So thought of sharing the recipe with you all........
