Coconutty corn from Third Culture Cooking: Classic Recipes for a New Generation (page 44) by Zaynab Issa

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute green bird's-eye chiles or ground cayenne pepper for jalapeños, lime juice for lemon juice, and ground coriander for cilantro.

    I swear, Zaynab just doesn't miss. This is so unbelievably easy ("dump some stuff in a pot; heat") and brings huge ROI. Super tasty; the sauce gets all velvety and luscious; crazy simple to scale up. What a winner. Totally going into the rotation.

    I was pleasantly suprised with how low effort and flavorful this was. It was a big hit at a dinner party served room temperature. I felt as though it needed a bit more salt than suggested

    This was really yummy - next time I might reduce the liquid ( or increase the corn) because it was a bit too brothy
