Ingredients
1 pinch of salt
200 ml of water
12 fresh corn cobs with husks, high quality
100 g of grated coconut
400 g of sugar
200 ml of water
12 fresh corn cobs with husks, high quality
100 g of grated coconut

Where to find ingredients
Look for fresh corn on the cob at local markets or supermarkets, especially in the produce section. The husks can often be found alongside the corn or in the fresh produce aisle. Grated coconut is available in the frozen section or dried in Latin or Asian markets. Sugar is widely available in the baking aisle. If fresh coconut isn't available, dried grated coconut can be used as a substitute. For the best flavor, choose high-quality, fresh ingredients. Corn husks are sometimes sold in packs for tamales or similar dishes, or you can ask at the produce counter. In specialty markets, you might find fresh corn with husks still attached, ideal for making pamonha. If fresh corn isn't available, frozen corn kernels are a good alternative, just thaw before blending.
Preparation method
- Remove the corn kernels from the cobs by scraping or cutting close to the silk
- 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
- Carefully place the pamonha bundles into the boiling water one by one
- Ensure the water is boiling vigorously before adding to prevent disintegration
- Cook for about 40 minutes, using a slotted spoon to remove the pamonhas from the hot water
- After cooking, let them cool in a cool place before serving
