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.
