Corn is rich in nutrients, including the antioxidants beta-carotene and lutein, the carotenoids which give the vegetables their distinctive colour.

3 cups yellow cornmeal

3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour

2 1⁄4 cups brown sugar

5 cups thick coconut milk

1⁄2 teaspoon mixed spice

1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt

1 1⁄2 teaspoons grated nutmeg

1⁄2 cup raisins

1⁄2 cup shredded coconut

1⁄2 cup strong coconut milk

4 tablespoons granulated sugar (heaping)

1 dash cinnamon

Pass the flour and cornmeal through a clean sieve to remove large lumps and particles.

In a large bowl, mix sugar, salt, nutmeg, mixed spice and coconut milk.

Add to the cornmeal mixture, stirring until there are no lumps and transfer into a greased pan.

Coat raisins with a little flour and sprinkle into the mixture. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top.

Dot generously with butter or margarine. Bake in a moderately-hot oven 350F for 15 minutes or until set.

Combine all ingredients for the custard, and pour it on top of the cornmeal pudding. Bake for another 30 to 45 minutes or until set. Cool and serve.
