Bring plenty of water to a boil in a wide large pot. Add 1 teaspoon salt and the pasta. Stir occasionally but gently.
Boil till pasta is al dente(to the tooth). It should be tender but still firm to the bite. Remove the pot from fire immediately and pour the pasta into a colander, draining all the water.
Add a teaspoon of oil to prevent the pasta from sticking. Toss gently Allow to cool. Store in the fridge in a covered container till serving time.
Boil some water and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add the frozen sweet corn and blanch for about 3-4 minutes or until tender. Drain and refrigerate.
Put the fresh hung curd in a wide shallow bowl (big enough to comfortably toss the pasta in) Add the mayonnaise and sugar. Add salt to taste. Mix well with a wire whisk till smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
Just before serving, add the pasta and the boiled corn to the mayonnaise mixture. Mix gently till mayonnaise coats the pasta well taking care not to break the pasta.
If the salad feels dry, add one or two teaspoons cold milk as needed. Serve the chilled pasta salad immediately with warm Garlic Bread.
