Corn in Coconut Milk !!!

                                                            Corn In Coconut Milk !!!

Corn is in the season so they must be in your refrigerator too !!! But for my family corn is always in the season and Coconut Milk is one of the few things husband really desires ..... So when I came across this recipe in a cookbook I knew this is going to be a family favorite.

                                                         

                                                                    Tips :

• You can use frozen corn.
• You can use kernels of corn but you won't get chance to wipe all that yummy coconut milk of the plate with you cob and ......... Boy that is something not to miss !!!
• Use a good quality Coconut milk , check the label. There should be only coconut and water in the Ingredients.

Prep Time :   15 Minutes     (if using frozen corn 5 Minutes)
Cook Time :  10 Minutes

Ingredients :

4  Corn ( Husked and cut into cube)
1 Can Coconut Milk
Water (as per desired consistency Approx. 1/2 cup)

For Tempering :

2 TBSP  Oil
Pinch  Of   Mustard seeds  (optional)
Pinch  Of    Cumin Seeds
Green Chilies or red Chilies  (To taste)
Salt

1. In a medium size pot, put the 2 TBSP of oil and let it heat little bit.
2. Add Mustard seeds and Cumin seeds and let them platter (fancy word for let the seed make funny sounds and bounce in the oil).
3. Add Chilies and corn. Saute them for 2 minutes.
4. Add Coconut Milk and water.
5. Cover the pot and let them cook for about 5 minutes and turn of the heat.
6. Let it sit for few more minutes so corn cooks fully but the coconut milk won't boil over.
7. Sprinkle coriander leaves if desired (means if they are available )
8. Enjoy it with rice or just by itself. Hot or Cold..... Don't forget to wipe all the coconut milk with cob from the plate and suck the corn cob.

A Bedbug Story ......

OK so we are back .... finally settled down and ready to share our roller coaster life with you all. It took me a little longer than I expected to come back here but no matter how hard I tried to make this move easy .... It is just lots and lots of work.                                          

The moving itself wasn't bad at all. Maybe because we wanted to get away from New York so badly and this place is quite similar to our dreamland (South Florida) ..... And everything went smoothly (as smoothly as a moving can with 2 kids) . Kids actually enjoyed the whole thing so much. It was like a vacation for them since we eat out everyday and go out to find apartment. Even the little one was easy to settle in the new place.

 Unpacking wasn't bad either until we found a bedbug ...... I literally wanted to scream cause when I thought I am done with this moving I had to start packing everything for the treatment. In India we have a saying that "This should't even happen to my enemy " . That is exactly what I felt.

Now it has been more than 3 weeks but we are still waiting for the all clear sign from the pest control people.Sorry to bore all of you but that's the reason I didn't started posting soon. But there is a brighter side of the move too....   Luckily we found an old friend here and Houston has so many things to offer we are playing tourist from the week we moved here. We are out enjoying every weekend no matter the pile of chores we have at home.

P.S : The only problem in Houston so far is everything is far apart. But there are lots lots of family friendly things to do.
