Ingredients

  • 4-5 cups corn
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ onion chopped
  • 1.5 tbsp flour
  • 1.5 cup half and half
  • ¾ teaspoons salt
  • ¼ teaspoons pepper
  • 2-3 thyme sprig

Instructions

  • If using Corn on the cob, clean the corn. Using a sharp knife remove the kernels.
  • Melt butter in a pan. Saute onion until it has softened. We are not browning the onions here.
  • Stir in corn kernel, and thyme sprig. Toss well to coat corn with butter. Cover and cook for 2 minutes on low heat.
  • Remove the lid. Add flour, salt and pepper. Saute for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell of flour is gone and corn is coated with flour well.
  • Lower the heat and stir in half and half. Give everything a good mix. Let it simmer on low heat for a couple of minutes. The mixture will be thickened on simmering. Once the desired consistency is reached, switch off the flame.

Notes

  1. For more flavour and to get the natural sweetness of corn, pulse 1/2 cup of corn kernels in a food processor just once and add it to the pan. 
  2. If using frozen corn, add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar while adding the cream. Though frozen corn is good, it lacks the natural sweetness of fresh corn.
