Step 1
1 Dip the corn cobs, husks and all, in water, until thoroughly moistened
Step 2
2 Microwave on HIGH until very hot, 10 to 12 minutes
Step 3
3 When they are cool enough to handle, using a sharp knife, cut crosswise through the husk and cob and 1 to 2 inches from the stem end (opposite from the end with the tassel of silk)
Step 4
4 Hold the silk end, then push the corn cob out the other end
Step 5
5 Discard any stray silks
Step 6
6 Cut each cob in half
Step 7
7 Place the peanuts in a dedicated spice grinder or food processor; grind to a fine consistency
Step 8
8 In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until it shimmers
Step 9
9 Add the chickpea flour, whisking to smooth out any lumps (forming a kind of roux)
Step 10
10 Cook, whisking constantly, until slightly darkened, about 4 minutes
Step 11
11 Add the ground peanuts, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is the consistency of thick peanut butter, about 5 minutes
Step 12
12 Whisk in the yogurt, chile powder, sugar, salt and turmeric
Step 13
13 Increase the heat to medium and gradually ladle in the water, whisking until smooth
Step 14
14 Taste, and season with more salt, as needed
Step 15
15 Nestle the corn into the sauce, reduce the heat until the sauce is barely simmering, cover and cook until the sauce is the consistency of heavy cream, about 5 minutes
Step 16
16 Add more water as needed to loosen the sauce
Step 17
17 The sauce will continue to thicken as it sits (and if you refrigerate leftovers), so you may need to whisk in more water still when you reheat
Step 18
18 Transfer to a serving dish or individual wide, shallow bowls, scatter more peanuts over each portion and serve
