Boiled Corn and Coconut are one of those Nigerian street snacks we call ”a match made in heaven”. It is usually sold by street hawkers but you can easily prepare it in your kitchen.
All you need are:
* A whole coconut (mature)
* 3 fresh Corn on the cob or canned sweet corn
* 1 Teaspoonful Salt
* 1 Teaspoonful Sugar (optional)
Tools:
*A grater
*A knife/harmer for cracking the coconut
Preparation:
1. Peel off the green coat of the corn, scrape the kernels(seeds) and boil in salted boiling water until tender.
Take out the boiled seeds, pour into a sieve and set aside to cool.
You can also choose to boil the corn and scrape out the seeds when the corn is done.
If you’re using canned sweet corn, strain out the water and set aside. No need to boil it.
2. Using a harmer or knife, crack the coconut, let the coconut water drip into a cup (you can drink it, it’s quite refreshing).
Then pry out the coconut meat and grate, using this knife side of the grater.
3. Now, combine the grated coconut and boiled corn seeds together. Sprinkle some sugar and enjoy!
Tip: Adding the sugar is optional.
