If you haven’t had corn on the cob curry, you are missing out!
This is a wonderful curry made with delicate spices and delicately cooked to bring all the flavors together.
You won’t find this curry in any Indian restaurant!
This semi tongue-twister, ridiculously messy dish is a HUUUUGGGGE favorite in my home. There is just something so comforting and satisfying about corn on the cob because it brings back so many wonderful childhood memories.
This recipe is in line with my recent theme of having messy eating recipes and this corn on the cob curry is one seriously chaotic recipe when you are eating it. My only advice is to not eat it when you are on your first date.
Getting the corn on the cob cooked right is the key. The best way to cook the corn on the cob is topressure cook it because it is fast and easy. If you don’t have access to a pressure cooker, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tsp of salt to the water and cook the corn on the cob for about 4-6 minutes. If you are comfortable with oven roasting the corn, go for it. Keeping corn kernels soft is the key to this recipe.
I used fresh corn on the cob in this recipe, however, you can use the frozen one. After it is cooked, I cut them into pieces. The cob is never more then 4 rows tall because it is easier to eat it at that height.
This curry tastes great with Naan and Basmati Rice. Check out some of my other Indian food recipes. What is your favorite way to eat corn on the cob?
