Curried Corn with Chilis

February 24, 2015

I love this whole grain side dish. The spicy nature of the curry brings out the best in the sweet corn creating a truly vitalizing dish. Just be sure to use organic corn…don’t want any nasty GMO’s in your lovely meal.

Makes 4-6 servings

Ingredient List:

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 bunch green onions, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • Generous pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1, 14-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
