🧂 Malzemeler
- 500 g Purple corn (maíz morado)
- 200 g Dried fruits
- 2 sticks Cinnamon sticks
- 6 pieces Whole cloves
- 100 g Sweet potato starch (chuño or maicena)
- 200 g Granulated sugar
- 2 liters Water
- 1 strip Lemon zest
- 1/2 cup Pineapple chunks
👨🍳 Yapılışı
- 1
Rinse the dried purple corn thoroughly under cold water. Place the rinsed corn in a large pot along with the cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and the optional lemon zest strip. Add 2 liters of water.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for at least 1 hour, or until the corn kernels are very tender and have released their deep purple color into the water. Stir occasionally.
⏱️ 1 hour - 3
Carefully strain the liquid into a clean pot, discarding the corn cobs, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and lemon zest. You should have a vibrant, deeply colored liquid. If the liquid seems too thick, you can add a little more water.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
Add the dried fruits and the granulated sugar to the strained purple liquid. If using, add the pineapple chunks now. Bring the mixture back to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the dried fruits to soften and plump up.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet potato starch (or cornstarch) with about 1/2 cup of cold water until smooth and no lumps remain. This is your slurry.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Gradually pour the starch slurry into the simmering purple liquid while whisking constantly. Continue to cook and stir over medium-low heat for another 5-10 minutes, or until the mazamorra thickens to a pudding-like consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon. Be careful not to scorch the bottom.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 7
Remove the pot from the heat. Let the mazamorra cool slightly for about 15-20 minutes. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 8
Pour the mazamorra into individual serving bowls or a larger serving dish. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until completely cold and set.
⏱️ 2-3 hours (chilling) - 9
Serve the chilled Mazamorra Morada on its own or traditionally with Arroz con Leche (Peruvian rice pudding).
