A traditional Brazilian food, pamonha is a paste made from sweet corn and milk which is boiled wrapped in corn husks, turned into a kind-of dumpling. It can be savoury or sweet, for those who are more of a savoury fan, they can be filled with all sorts of things like cheese, minced meat or just served plain.
