Ingredients
- 6 ears Fresh corn (on the cob)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1.5 teaspoons Curry powder
- 0.75 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped, optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Shuck the corn and remove the kernels by standing each cob upright in a large bowl and carefully slicing down the sides with a sharp knife. Scrape the cobs with the back of the knife to extract the corn milk for extra flavor.
Step 2
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and curry powder to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to toast the curry powder and release its aroma.
Step 4
Stir in the fresh corn kernels and corn milk. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and heated through.
Step 5
Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Step 6
Add the sugar, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish to grilled meats or alongside fresh summer salads. Enjoy!
