This is half way between a dahl and a curry, where a few tins of regular sweetcorn are transformed into something fragrant and special by the help of the spices from the back of your cupboard. I¡¯ve suggested using a stick blender to give your corn a nice creamy texture, but if you don¡¯t have one, don¡¯t worry, just mash some of the corn by hand using a potato masher instead.

When I¡¯m home late from a long day¡¯s cooking but still craving something flavour-packed and comforting to round off the day, this is what I make. These are ingredients I tend always to have in my kitchen, but you could easily mix it up with whatever veggies are in your fridge.
