Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ears Fresh corn (on the cob)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1.5 teaspoons Curry powder
- 0.75 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Shuck the corn and remove the kernels by standing each cob upright in a large bowl and carefully slicing down the sides with a sharp knife. Scrape the cobs with the back of the knife to extract the corn milk for extra flavor.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and curry powder to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to toast the curry powder and release its aroma.
Stir in the fresh corn kernels and corn milk. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and heated through.
Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Add the sugar, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish to grilled meats or alongside fresh summer salads. Enjoy!
