This American Recipe Serves 2-3

Creamed corn (which is likewise known by different names, for example, “cream-style corn“) is a sort of creamy based sauce with regular corn or sweetcorn.

On the off chance that you purchase creamed corn from your nearby grocery store, you miss the delight of making your own & eating a more rich, creamy & fresher version of this great dish.

Sweet corn is fine & dandy, obviously, however sweet corn simmered with milk & butter? All things considered, that is another paradise totally.

Corn is a decent wellspring of vitamin C & furthermore contains lycopene, the chemical that gives tomatoes their red shading.
