Where to find ingredients
In India, fresh corn cobs are widely available in local markets and supermarkets, especially during the season. Look for sweet corn with bright, plump kernels. Grated coconut can be found in the frozen section of supermarkets or in specialty stores that stock tropical ingredients. For fresh coconut, check the produce section or local markets that sell tropical fruits. Kitchen twine or husk strips are available in the kitchenware aisle or in stores selling baking supplies. If fresh corn is hard to find, frozen sweet corn can be a good substitute, just ensure to thaw and drain excess water before blending.
Preparation method
- Remove the corn kernels from the 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 to combine
- 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
- Carefully place the pamonhas into the boiling water one by one
- 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
- Let the pamonhas cool in a cool place before serving
