Ingredients

  • 2–3 fresh corn cobs, cut into thick rib-style pieces (about 8 ribs per cob)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil 
  • Salt and pepper, to taste 
  • ¼ tsp paprika (optional) 
  • 2 tbsp chopped coriander 
  • Juice of ½ lemon 

For the Sticky Tamarind Glaze: 

  • 4 tbsp Sunny Sweet Tamarind & Chilli Sauce 
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup 
  • 1 tsp soy sauce 
  • 1 clove garlic, grated 
  • ½ tsp grated ginger (optional) 

For Drizzling: 

  • 3 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream (loosened with a little water) 
  • Extra Sunny Sweet Tamarind & Chilli Sauce for dipping 

Instructions

  1. Prep the Corn Ribs: 

Carefully cut each cob into rib-style strips. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. 

  1. Roast the Corn: 

Air fry or bake at 200°C (390°F) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are crispy and slightly charred. 

  1. Make the Glaze: 

In a small saucepan, combine Sunny tamarind sauce, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. 

  1. Glaze the Corn: 

Once the corn ribs are done, brush them generously with the sticky glaze. Roast for another 2–3 minutes to caramelise. 

  1. Plate & Garnish: 

Arrange on a platter, drizzle with yogurt or sour cream, sprinkle with chopped coriander, and squeeze lemon over the top.

  1. Serve: 

Serve hot with extra tamarind sauce on the side for dipping.
