Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 cobs)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or coconut oil)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 units lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the curry powder, turmeric powder, and red chili flakes over the onions, and stir well to coat with the spices.
Add the fresh corn kernels to the skillet, and stir to combine with the spiced onion mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk, and season with salt. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly combined.
Lower the heat to medium-low, and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and the flavors meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve the curried corn warm as a side dish, or enjoy it with lime wedges for a bright, citrusy finish.
