East African recipe | Makkai Pakka 🌽 | By @sanyazulfiqar

Hello beautiful women of @steemwomensclub!

Hope you all are having a lovely Sunday. Today, I would like to share my grandmother’s recipe of Makkai Pakka that I tried, with you all.

Just to give you a little background of Makkai Pakka, it is an East African dish of corn in coconut curry. The recipe if fairly simple, oil-free and the corn drenched in the curry is oh-so-yummy!

Let’s get into it, right away!

Ingredients

• Shucked corns (used 2 in my case) cut into 3 pieces
• 2 green chilies
• 1 coconut milk powder packet (50g)
• Turmeric powder (quarter tsp)
• Salt (as per taste)
• Lemon (as per taste)

Method

Step 1: First, boil the cut corns in a cooker.

Step 2: Next, we have to make the paste of coconut milk powder and water. The consistency is not very runny rather medium-thick.

Step 3: Add this paste in a wok and add turmeric powder (as per the mentioned quantity) and mix.

Step 4 Once it starts to boil, add green chilies and corn (as per the mentioned quantities) and keep adding the paste onto the corns so it can soak it.

Step 5: Leave the mixture in the wok for 5-6 minutes on medium-low flame. Once, it has reached consistency like a sauce, turn off the stove and salt as per taste. Now, it is ready to serve! You can add lemon to enhance its taste later, as per your choice!

Thank you for reading through and I hope you all liked this recipe!

Best regards,
