Spicy, creamy, and ready in 20 minutes, this Red Curry Elote is a bold vegan twist on Mexican street corn. Slathered in Thai red curry coconut sauce and topped with tangy coconut yogurt, it’s the perfect plant-based side for summer.
In a large pot of salted water, boil the corn for about 10 minutes then drain. Meanwhile, make the curry sauce.
Heat a small pan over medium heat. Add the cooking oil, then sauté the ginger, garlic, and curry paste for 30 seconds until fragrant. Mash up the curry paste with a spoon until well mixed. Add ½ cup of coconut milk, maple syrup, and juice of ¼ lime. Reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often.
Place the corn on a serving tray. Butter each ear, then spread a thick layer of curry sauce on all sides of the corn.
Mix the yogurt with 3 Tbsp coconut milk. Drizzle the elote with coconut sauce. Garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Serve and enjoy!
