CORN ON THE COB CURRY
The Instant Pot is a great way to speedily make a sweetcorn curry using fresh corn on the cobs. In this curry, we have used coconut milk to create a silky gravy. We also love Sweetcorn and Peanut Curry, or Kasoli nu Saak which is the East-African Gujarati version. I absolutely love to prepare this Afghan Lubya in my Instant Pot too. It is vegan, gluten-free and so delicious. Don’t have an Instant Pot? Check out our stovetop method in the recipe card below…or use a stovetop pressure cooker. Often we include sweetcorn in our cooking, whether it is fresh, frozen or canned. I simply adore No onion potato and sweetcorn seviyan vermicelli upma and Methi Corn Bhajiya Fritters.
