About the recipe:

Curried corn is a quick and easy side dish that goes well with grilled or roasted poultry and seafood. My version of the recipe uses coconut milk, both to add flavor and to make the dish saucy. I also add fresh basil, which complements the flavor of the corn perfectly.

Ingredients:

A few ingredient notes:

• you can use mild or medium yellow curry powder for this recipe, depending on how spicy you like it
