my experiments with intuitive and improvised cooking IV - 'Makai kadhi'' (Corn curry)

We've been eating some really heavy traditional food and sweets lately. So Today I decided to make something a bit different for lunch.

I looked around the house and found two corn cobs and decided to make some sort of corn curry.

So I found this nice recipe for corn kadhi, but its not like the kadhi we make with dahi.

Ingredients:

Corn from 2 cobs

1 cup onion

1 cup grated coconut

3 cups milk (also depends on how thick you want it to be)

4 teaspoons khuskhus (poppy seeds)

a few cloves (maybe 4-5)

4 green chillies... more if you like your curry hot!

Dalchini (cinnamon) 2 sticks or 1 tea spoon.

2-3 small cardamoms

1 1/2 table spoons oil

2 tea spoon lemon juice

6 garlic cloves

2 teaspoons grated ginger

chopped dhania (coriander leaves). depends on how green you want the curry to look, but i used almost half a cup.

So here's what I did:

Step 1:

Boiled the corn cobs till cooked and separated the corn grain from the chaff. That is a lot of corn!

Step 2:

Take the chopped onion, grated coconut, green chillies, ginger, garlic, poppy seeds and coriander and grind it to make a paste.

This is how the paste looks like.

Step 3:

Heat some oil in a vessel and fry the above made paste in it.

Add the cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. Then add the lemon juice and stir well. And finally add the cooked corn and milk and mix well

Add salt.

You might want to add some more water or milk.

While cooking, the whole house is filled with the subtle aroma of cinnamon.

It looks equally appetizing and tastes really good!
