Additional Notes / Tips

  • For extra flavor, roast the corn before adding it.
  • Add chili flakes if you like a little kick.
  • Use coconut milk instead of cashew cream for a tropical twist.
  • Serve with crusty bread—because dipping is mandatory.
  • Pro tip: tastes even better the next day after the flavors mingle.
