Recipe ingredients and notes:
- Yellow curry powder is sometimes also called simply curry powder. You can use this flavorful spice blend to make actual curries (like this chicken pineapple curry), but it's equally great for spicing up side dishes like this curry corn. (You can also use it to marinate meats, like these curry chicken bites, or even add a new twist to a classic, like in this curry-spiced tartar sauce.) Yellow curry powder comes in different levels of spiciness and you can use mild or medium powder for the recipe here, depending on how spicy you like it.
- You will add the corn frozen so you don't need to let it thaw first.
