How to make Coconut Corn pottage

Fresh Corn  season is here!S its going to be Corn Pottage on the menu.  Cherry or Ogomosho Mango season is also here! So its that time of the year when I have to be at my maximum self control. I have to try hard to resist eating roasted corn from every street corner or have 3 mangoes for dinner. When Ube ( local pears ) appears my situation is made worse( sad face) . I will survive sha. I just love fresh corn and mangoes.
Already I start to see the street food vendors switch from roasting plantain to corn.

I was able to pick up some fresh corn in my neighorhood and I put together this interesting dish .Corn Pottage cooked in coconut milk.
As fresh corn fills every street corner , try this simple dish in addition to your regular ‘mouth organ’….roasted or boiled corn.
Enjoy!
