Ingredients

  • 2 ears of corn
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup coconut milk

  • 1 tbsp yellow curry paste
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 kaffir lime leaves
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Roast the corn over an open flame until lightly charred on all sides for a smoky flavor.
  2. Slice the corn into 1-inch pieces, then cut each piece in half for easy eating.
  3. In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the shallots, garlic, and ginger until fragrant and softened.
  4. Stir in the paprika, turmeric, and salt, mixing well to release their aroma.
  5. Add the coconut milk, fish sauce, curry paste, water, and kaffir lime leaves. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm, best enjoyed with steamed rice.
