Sweet corn gravy recipe with step by step pictures and video.This gravy is a basic onion tomato gravy but with the addition of coconut milk it lifts up the flavour of the gravy to an extra level.

As both my kids are fond of sweet corn,I buy sweet corn often and make cup corn with different flavours.Attimes I make gravy with it and this was one such gravy which tasted so good with coconut milk flavour.

What can be made with sweet corn?

Sweet corn gravy

You can use any heavy bottomed pan as the gravy needs to be simmered for a while before adding coconut milk.I used my new ceramic pan which I bought recently from homecenter 🙂

This gravy is versatile you can add any veggies along with it like capsicum, potato or a mix of veggies too.I have added spice level a bit more to balance the sweetness from sweet corn and coconut milk.
