In Iran, corn on the cob is cooked by street vendors on charcoal braziers and then dipped into salted water. You can choose your own uncooked corn from the street vendor’s cart; some people prefer the softer white corn (shir) while others choose the tougher yellow corn that is cooked to a crisp, firm bite. Both are delicious. Here, I’m using bi-colored corn and I’m giving you a deliciously flavorful sumac sauce to go with it.
