Combine buttery and nostalgic corn on the cob with a nutty, moreish curry. Spoon the spicy curry sauce over the corn, and get messy eating it with your fingers. Alternatively, you can remove the corn kernels first by standing the cobs on their flat end and using a sharp knife to remove the sweetcorn, before stirring it into the curry. Serve with rice or vegan naan bread and finish with a squeeze of lime, if you like.

Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Bring a large pan of water to the boil and throw in the cobettes. Simmer for 8 minutes until tender, then drain the water and set aside.

Step 2

Add the oil, onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, chilli flakes and mustard seeds to a pan over a low heat and cook gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions have softened but not browned.

Step 3

Pour in the coconut milk, then stir in the tomato purée and peanut butter. Add a splash of cold water and the bay leaf. Bring to a gentle simmer over a medium-low heat and simmer for 35–40 minutes, stirring frequently, adding a little more cold water if the sauce looks like it’s drying out.

Step 4

Discard the bay leaf, then season the sauce with salt to taste. Add the corn pieces and heat through for 2–3 minutes. Ladle into bowls and scatter with the coriander and chopped salted peanuts.
