Bangalore: What happens when a taste memory lingers long after a journey ends? For Mrs. Syeda Vizarath Fathima, a visit to Korea introduced her to the delightful Korean Corn Dog—a crispy, cheese-filled treat that ignited her imagination. Back in India, the flavors haunted her, sparking an idea that would eventually lead to a unique culinary creation.
A Culinary Spark
Syeda’s experience with the Korean Corn Dog planted a seed of inspiration. But instead of simply recreating the dish, she envisioned something more—a version that would resonate with Indian taste buds while preserving the essence of the original. With determination, she began experimenting in her kitchen, driven by the challenge of blending cultures on a plate.
Her husband, Aakash Sinha, became her partner in this culinary adventure. Their kitchen transformed into a lab where they tested different batters, fillings, and cooking techniques. Some attempts were too spicy; others missed the mark on texture. But with persistence, they found the perfect balance, resulting in what they called “Corn Dawg”—a dish that combined the richness of Indian spices with the comforting gooeyness of cheese.
Creating a Flavorful Symphony

was more than just a snack; it was a fusion of flavors that celebrated both Korean and Indian culinary traditions. The batter, infused with aromatic spices, enveloped a variety of fillings—from classic cheese to paneer and even a chili-infused variant that added a fiery twist. The Corn Dawg became a reflection of Syeda’s vision: a dish that was distinctly Indian yet retained the heart of its Korean origin.
Friends and family played a crucial role in refining the recipe. Their feedback helped Syeda and Aakash tweak the flavors, leading to the introduction of customizable options to cater to different tastes. This adaptability became a defining feature of Corn Dawg, making it a beloved snack for diverse palates.
From Cloud Kitchen to Community Favorite
The journey from idea to reality was gradual. Syeda and Aakash decided to start small, launching Corn Dawg from a modest cloud kitchen in Bangalore. The response was immediate and enthusiastic. Social media buzzed with photos and rave reviews, and soon, Corn Dawgs were being enjoyed across the city. The success of the cloud kitchen led to the opening of their first physical outlet, where customers could savor the freshly made treats.
A New Chapter
As Corn Dawg gained popularity, Syeda and Aakash decided to fully commit to their venture, drawing on their professional backgrounds in business and technology. Their complementary skills helped steer the brand’s growth while staying true to its roots. The Corn Dawg story is a testament to the power of innovation and the blending of cultures, bringing a taste of Korea to India with a uniquely Indian twist.
