What is makka cholam in english?

Maize (or corn) is native to the Americas and is believed to have first been domesticated in Southern Mexico in prehistoric times. Both its immature seeds as well as the cob with seeds are edible and widely consumed. It is one of the most important food crops of the world along with rice and wheat. The vegetable form of maize is generally considered to be sweet corn. That said, other forms are also widely consumed as immature kernels harvested prior to drying.

In English, Makka cholam (Zea mays L. subsp. mays) is known by Sweet corn.
