Sweet Corn Kurma

My first half of today was really very hectic and no time to prepare rice for lunch. So decided to prepare chapathi and kurma... and again bored of my regular ones so tried this sweet kurma. Very easy and simple curry but tasted good.Actually the groundnut which I had added in the coconut paste enhanced the flavor a lot. Served this with hot chapathi's but can also be served with the ghee rice. Spicy kurma with the mild sweet taste of corn was really delicious.
