Chef's Tips

  • For optimal flavor, use fresh corn. If not available, frozen corn can be a good alternative.
  • For a spicy touch, add a pinch of chili flakes to the sautéed vegetables.
  • If Catupiry cheese is unavailable, a mixture of cream cheese (like Philadelphia) and grated mozzarella can serve as a creamy and melting substitute.
