First perfected thousands of years ago by the ancient Maya, dukunu is a unique culinary treat that is usually made without meat. While Mexican tamales are made from masa corn meal, dukunu gains its robust flavor from roasted corn kernels perfectly blended with coconut milk. Dukunu is a labor-intensive dish, but everyone can enjoy this Belizean staple right at home. Remove corn from oven, and use a knife to slice off corn kernels. Mix corn kernels and water in a blender until liquefied.
