Potato Corn Chowder

I made veg chowder before which is really creamy. Normally these thick and creamy Chowders are fall and winter favorites. Kids love chowders so I tried to go with a dish that is apt for Summer which is less creamy but still full of flavors.
I'm sending this dish to BM#73 under one pot meals category.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Serves : 3-4

Ingredients:

Onion : 1 large diced
Potatoes: 3 large peeled and diced
Corn : 2 cups
Cumin seeds : 1 tablespoon

All purpose flour: 1 teaspoon
Shredded cheese : 1/2 cup

Method:

Heat butter in a medium saucepan and add onions. Sauté them for 3-4 minutes until they turn translucent.
Add cumin seeds, mix well and fry for 1 minute.
Add potatoes, bay leaf, stock and bring it to a boil.
Simmer, close lid and cook for 10 minutes until the potatoes are soft
Add corn and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Mix flour with milk and add the mixture to the chowder stirring constantly.
Cook for 1 minute and turn off the stove.
Add shredded cheese and stir until it's melted.

This can be served cold as well.
