Where to find ingredients
Look for fresh corn cobs with husks at local markets or supermarkets, especially in the fresh produce section. Grated coconut can be found in the dried goods aisle or in tropical/ethnic food sections. Sugar is widely available in the baking aisle. If fresh corn isn't available, frozen or canned corn kernels can be used as a substitute. Corn husks are often sold in packs in the baking or ethnic foods section, or you can use banana leaves as an alternative for wrapping. For a more authentic flavor, seek out local markets that sell fresh tropical produce or specialty stores with Latin American or Caribbean ingredients.
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 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
- 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 the pamonhas from the hot water
- After cooking, let them cool in a cool place before serving
