Substitutions

Corn: You can use fresh corn kernels by removing them from corn on the cob, or use frozen kernels (which is quicker).

Oil: Substitute with virgin or regular olive oil, vegan butter or avocado oil.

Garlic: For best results, make fresh garlic paste rather than using a pre-bottled paste. Do not use garlic powder as a swap.

Garam Masala: This is an Indian spice mix made of a variety of spices. You can find it online or in Indian grocery stores.

Ground Cumin: To make this at home, you can lightly toast cumin seeds on the stove, then ground them up in a spice grinder. You can also buy this at Indian grocery stores instead of making it at home.

Coconut Milk: Find full-fat coconut milk, which is not carton milk and not reduced-fat. Thai Kitchen is a great brand for this, where the only ingredients are coconut and water on the label. I do not recommend to substitute this, as the recipe will not have that rich taste.

Spicy Indian Masala Creamed Corn Recipe Notes

• The amount of Indian spices used can be adjusted based on your heat preference. Start with a smaller amount of spices if you’re sensitive to heat, and gradually increase to achieve the desired level of spiciness. You can also add a pinch of chili powder for extra heat if you like it spicier.
