Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon oil
1/8 teaspoon whole cumin seed
1/2 teaspoon grated gingerroot
1 fresh green chile, very finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons grated coconut
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

Steps:

Put the corn and milk in a heavy pan. Bring to a simmer, making sure it doesn't boil over. Simmer vigorously, stirring occasionally, until there is very little milk left (just enough to keep the corn looking wet).
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When hot, put in the cumin seed. A few seconds later, add the ginger and green chili. Stir once.
Add the corn, sugar, salt, and cayenne to the frying pan. Stir to mix. Add the coconut and cilantro.
Mix again and turn off the heat.
