Description

This vibrant Indian-style sauce offers a delightful balance of sweet corn, fresh tomatoes, and crisp green peppers, all brought together with the warm aroma of garam masala. The dish features a rich tomato base that simmers down to create a luscious, slightly thick consistency, perfect for coating grains or spreading over flatbreads. The sweetness of the corn complements the earthy spices, while the green peppers add a fresh, vegetal crunch and a mild heat. Ideal for weeknight dinners, this vegan-friendly recipe is quick to prepare and packed with flavor. It serves beautifully as a side dish with rice or as a topping for grilled vegetables. With simple ingredients likely already in your pantry, this sauce brings an authentic homestyle taste to your table without requiring complex techniques or hard-to-find spices.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash and chop the tomatoes into small cubes.

  4. Cook the tomatoes for 5-7 minutes until they begin to break down and release their juices.
  5. Add the diced green pepper and corn to the skillet.
  6. Stir in the water to prevent sticking and help create a sauce base.
  7. Season with salt and garam masala, stirring well to combine.
  8. Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes until the peppers are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Note

For a smoother sauce, blend the mixture with an immersion blender or regular blender after cooking.

Frozen corn can be used directly without thawing; fresh corn kernels can be cut from the cob.

Adjust the amount of garam masala to control the heat level; start with 1 teaspoon if you prefer milder spice.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove.

This sauce pairs well with basmati rice, naan bread, or grilled vegetables.

If the sauce becomes too thick during cooking, add a splash more water to reach your desired consistency.
