Corn Tamales is a South American recipe. I wanted to make it since a friend tasted it locally. I have made some changes in my recipe. I haven't used eggs and sugar. I have used some curd instead . I have stuffed it with fresh salsa and made it spicier and tangy by adding lime juice and tomatoes on top. I loved making it.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Take corn in a blender. Blend it smooth. Add salt and butter and again blend it well. Remove and keep aside.
- 2
Add in baking powder and maize flour. Mix well to form a pliable dough. Let the dough rest aside for 15 minutes.
- 3
Roast the tomatoes and chillies till their skin turns black. Remove the skin and chop the tomatoes chillies and onion.
- 4
Add all the chopped veggies in a blender. Add lime juice, salt and give it brief stir. We want a coarse mixture not wholly blended. Keep aside
- 5
Take the corn husks and clean them. I used fresh ones as they are available. Take a husk and keep the wide side facing you. Spread a spoonful of the corn dough facing the wide side. Stuff a spoon full of salsa in it. Dont spread dough on the sides. Leave them open.
- 6
Overlap the both sides of the husk. Bring the narrow side up so as to form a parcel which is open on the upper side. Fasten the parcel with a corn thread. Repeat for remaining dough.

Meanwhile add some water in a kadhai. Keep a strainer above. Let steam form. Keep the parcels on the strainer in a container with their open ends facing upwards. Steam for 30 minutes. Add water if it evaporates in between.
- 8
After 30 minutes check the parcels. Insert a toothpick in it. If it comes out clean it's done else steam for some more time.

Serve the tamale with drizzle of lime juice and some chopped tomatoes. The tamale is ready to serve.

This is not authentic Latin or Mexican food, but good none the less. One night I made quesadillas and was out of jarred salsa.. I made this and now I make a jar and keep it in the fridge to snack on with chips.... This is mild and can be spicier by adding a diced medium size jalapeño...

I did not have salsa and did not want to go to the store so i went to the cabinet and came up with this. you can use cilantro if you have it, i did not so i used what i had. i also do not like chunky salsa so if you like chunky salsa you can use regular diced tomato or skip the blending step and juct chop the jalapeno
