Where to find ingredients
Look for fresh corn on the cob at local markets or supermarkets, especially in the produce section. Corn husks are often sold in the dried goods or international aisle, or fresh in Latin or Asian markets. Grated coconut can be found in the frozen section or in specialty stores. Sugar is widely available in supermarkets. If fresh corn or husks are hard to find, frozen corn kernels and dried husks are good alternatives. For coconut, use dried or frozen grated coconut, which is common in most grocery stores. Check local markets or Asian/Latin stores for these ingredients, or consider substituting dried corn kernels and dried coconut if fresh options are unavailable.
Preparation method
- Remove the kernels from the corn cobs by scraping or cutting close to the cob
- Blend the kernels with water until smooth
- Add the grated coconut and sugar to the mixture and stir well until combined
- Take a portion of the batter and wrap it in a corn husk, forming a tight cylinder
- Tie the ends with a piece of husk or kitchen twine
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil
- Once boiling, carefully place the pamonhas into the water
- Ensure the water is boiling vigorously before adding to prevent them from falling apart
- Cook for about 40 minutes, using a slotted spoon to remove them from the hot water
- After cooking, let the pamonhas cool in a cool place before serving
