Steps
Step 1
Bring the stock to a rolling boil in a big, deep pan. Slip in the cobs, leave to cook for about five minutes, then turn off the heat and leave the corn to sit in the stock as it cools.
Step 2
Put a heavy-based dry frying pan on a high heat and, once hot, lay the drained corn in the pan and char for a couple of minutes on each side – you’ll probably need to cook them two or three at a time, so you don’t overcrowd the pan. Put the coconut milk, lime juice and chillies in a small saucepan, season lightly, then bring up to a gentle simmer. Stir in the butter, turn off the heat and set aside.
Step 3
For the topping, toast the coconut flakes in a hot dry frying pan – coconut burns very easily, so keep them moving and keep your eye on them. As soon as the coconut has a golden, burnished, toasted colour, tip it into a bowl, leave to cool, then mix with the crispy shallots and herbs, and season to taste.
Step 4
To serve, spoon some of the coconut milk mixture over each cob, sprinkle with the toasted coconut mix and lime zest, and tuck in.

Substitutions
lime → lemon
Works in most savoury cooking. Desserts may notice.
chilli (paprika or chilli flakes) → paprika or chilli flakes
Paprika is milder and sweeter. Add cayenne if you still want heat.
butter → olive-oil
Use a little less oil than butter. Pastry and laminated doughs are a different problem.
