Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 4 cups sweet corn kernels, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and slightly golden.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the curry powder and ground turmeric over the onions and garlic, and stir to toast the spices for 30 seconds, releasing their aroma.
Add the sweet corn kernels to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly in the spice mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and heavy cream, mixing well to combine.
Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper, stirring to distribute the seasoning.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lime juice to brighten the flavors.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro if desired.
