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

Where to find ingredients
Look for fresh corn cobs in the vegetable section of your local supermarket or hypermarket, especially during the corn season. Asian or local markets often carry fresh corn with husks, sometimes labeled as 'sweet corn' or 'fresh corn on the cob.' For grated coconut, check the frozen section or the Asian/Indo-Malay aisle, where desiccated or grated coconut is sold. Sugar is widely available in the baking aisle. If fresh corn is hard to find, frozen corn kernels can be a good substitute, just adjust the blending process accordingly.
Preparation method
- Remove the corn kernels from the cobs by scraping or cutting close to the cob
- Blend the kernels with water in a blender 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 pamonha bundles 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
