Inspired by a customary corn curry from Maharashtra, this recipe delivers an exquisite umami experience. It balances the spiciness of green chillies with a hint of sweetness from sugar and a zesty kick from lime juice, all complemented by rich coconut milk and succulent corn. To elevate barbecued corn on the cob, top it with a vibrant herby chutney mixed with creamy butter. I frequently enough prepare the corn directly on the stovetop—a technique reminiscent of my childhood in India.
