Curried Corn Recipes

CURRIED CORN SOUP WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the leeks, celery and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened but not browned, about 10 minutes.
• Add the ginger, garlic, thyme, curry powder and potato. Cook, stirring, until the potato is coated in the spices, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 2 cups water and the sugar and bring to a boil. Add the corn, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes. Add the heavy cream and continue cooking until warmed through, about 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth; return to the pot. Season with salt. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a saucepan and reheat if needed. Serve with toppings.

CURRIED CREAM OF CORN SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and finely slice the onion into small cubes. Drain the corn in a colander and heat up the olive oil in a medium pot over medium temperature.
• Add the sliced onion and the curry powder to the pot. Give it a good stir so that the onion cubes are all coated with curry. Cook for 1 minute while stirring occasionally until the onion is translucent.
• Add the corn to the onion and sauté for 1 minute. Keep stirring.
• After 1 minute add the chicken broth and the whipping cream. Give it a good stir and let it simmer at medium to low temperature for 10 minutes.
• Season the soup with a little bit salt and pepper to taste. Then pour into a food processor and blend until smooth. Or use an immersion hand blender and blend your soup directly in the pot.
• Serve garnished with chopped up chives and a little bit of yoghurt or whipping cream drizzled over the soup.

CURRIED CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Sift flour and curry powder into medium mixing bowl. Form a well in the flour, and carefully mix in egg, milk, and salt. Mixture should be fairly thin, and may require more milk. Whisk until smooth if any lumps exist. Set aside, and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Coat the bottom of a heavy frying pan with oil, and heat to medium-high. Stir corn into mixture, and drop batter by the spoonful into pan. Fry fritters until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Serve hot or cold.

Use a sharp kitchen knife to slice off the kernels, working from top to bottom and rotating the ear after each cut. Use the back of the knife to scrape extra juices into skillet. Repeat with remaining ear of corn.
• Drizzle olive oil over the kernels and sprinkle with salt; place over medium heat and cook until corn is hot, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; continue to cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season corn with cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and garam masala. Cook and stir until corn is tender, about 2 more minutes.

CURRIED CORN WITH COD & PRAWNS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cook the corn cobs in a pan of lightly salted boiling water for 10 mins. Drain and leave to cool slightly. Stand the cobs upright on a board and slice the kernels off using a sharp knife in a downward motion along the length of the cob.
• Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and cook the onion with a pinch of salt for 10 mins until golden and caramelised. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, ground coriander, chilli and turmeric, and cook for 2 mins more. Tip in the coconut milk and tomatoes, then bring to a simmer. Arrange the cod fillets in a large roasting tin or casserole, then pour the spiced coconut and tomato mixture around the fish. Add the corn and prawns, and bake for 18-20 mins. Scatter with with fresh coriander and chillies and serve with rice and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.

CURRIED CORN WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Shear the corn kernels from the cobs with a knife, working over a large bowl or tube pan to catch the kernels. Run a knife along the cobs to press out the milky juices and add to the kernels. Break 4 cobs in half and combine with the half-and-half and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Discard the remaining cobs or save for making a broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, cover and steep while you pull the rest of the ingredients together, about 10 minutes.
• Put the shrimp in a bowl of cold water with 1 tablespoon salt and set aside.
• Heat a large non-reactive skillet over medium heat. Add one tablespoon of the butter and oil and when the butter melts, add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds and turmeric and cook until the seeds pop, about 2 minutes. Add the chiles and ginger and cook, stirring until lightly toasted, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon so the ginger toasts but doesn't stick, about 3 minutes.
• Add the corn, strain the corn-and-milk broth to the pan and bring to a low simmer over medium heat. Discard the cobs. Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Cook until the liquid reduces to coat the corn in a light sauce, 5 to 7 minutes. (The corn can be prepared ahead to this point.)
• Drain the shrimp well. Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the shrimp with the curry leaves, if using, and cook in the corn, covered, stirring periodically, until they curl and turn light pink, about 4 minutes. (If using cilantro, add after the shrimp are cooked). Whisk in the remaining tablespoon butter. Serve with lime wedges and tomato chutney.
