Instructions

  1. Peel back the corn husks, keeping them attached, then remove the silk.
  2. Grill the cobs directly over a gas flame or in a very hot cast-iron pan for 10 to 12 minutes, turning regularly.
  3. Meanwhile, chop the coriander and chilli very finely.
  4. When the kernels are golden and lightly charred in places, remove the cobs and let them cool for 2 minutes.
  5. Mix the salt, chilli powder and cumin on a small plate.
  6. Brush the cobs with lime juice, sprinkle with the spice mix and coriander, and serve straight away.

Variations and tips

With butter. Brush the hot cobs with melted butter before sprinkling the spices for a milder taste.
