Transform your fall dinner game with this delicious and easy vegan Corn Curry. Made with creamy coconut milk and packed with nutty, spiced flavors, this dish is a must-try for any feast, big or small. Inspired by a traditional Gujarati recipe, this quick and flavorful version will impress your family and friends.
My family loves adding corn to recipes. So naturally, we make an Indian-flavored dish out of it. This sweet corn curry is inspired by a common Gujarati recipe that is made with corn on the cob but of course, I like the quick and easy version of things. I actually forgot about how good it was until recently when I made a vegan version of it!
For added nutrients, throw in seasonal veggies like carrots and bell peppers, and top it off with crunchy crushed peanuts. The best part? This versatile dish can be served with roti, rice, frozen Kawan parathas, naan, or on its own. Trust me, this corn curry, also known as corn sabji or makai nu shaak, is just as delicious in every way!
Ingredients for Corn Curry
- Some frozen sweet corn, thawed.
- Onions, garlic, and tomatoes - canned tomato sauce works great as well.
- Some extra veggies for added nutrients - I used carrots and bell peppers but any seasonal vegetables will work great!
- Some seeds and spices - I used mustard seeds and cumin for the seeds and garam masala for the spice mix.
- Crushed peanuts for some crunch.
- Coconut milk to add some creamy goodness.
Simply simmer all ingredients together for a creamy, gravy-like consistency. And voila, a delicious and satisfying meal is ready to be served! Try out the Vegetable Samosa Puffs or the Phyllo Chaat Cups as appetizers to go with this dish!
