Where to find ingredients
Fresh sweet corn can be sourced from local markets and produce stands; ensure the ears are soft and milky for the best texture. Staples like sugar, milk, and butter are readily available in any local grocery store or supermarket dairy aisle.
Preparation method
- Grate all the corn ears using a grater or slice the kernels off with a knife and blend them in a blender with the milk.
- Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the fiber, ensuring a perfectly smooth cream.
- Stir the sugar and butter into the strained corn cream.
- Place the mixture in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
- Cook until the mixture thickens to the consistency of a shiny, dense porridge.
- Transfer the warm curau into dishes lightly moistened with water and let it cool completely before serving.
