A simple tasty weeknight dinner. Took this casserole for a dinner party and it was a hit!! What I like about this recipe is that this can be baked ahead and reheated.  You can add or sub other veggies (for the corn) to the sauté- diced zucchini, spinach, mushrooms etc. 

Serves 8 - 10
Ingredients
For The Filling
1 Tablespoons Olive oil 

1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Medium Onion - diced
¼ Cup Diced Red Bell Pepper
¼ Cup Diced Yellow Bell Pepper
¼ Cup Diced Green Bell Pepper
4 Cups Fresh Corn - can use frozen
2 Green Chillies - diced
1 Teaspoon Cumin powder
1 Teaspoon Coriander powder
1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
¾ Teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Chopped Coriander Leaves
For The Batter
½ Cup Cornmeal
½ Cup All Purpose Flour
¾ Teaspoon Salt
2 Teaspoons Sugar
2 Teaspoons Baking powder
2 Large Eggs
1 Cup Sour Cream
¼ Cup Melted Butter - slightly cooled.
1½ Cups Grated Cheeza Cheese

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C.

For The Filling
In a large skillet, sauté onion & chillies in oil & butter over medium low flame until fragrant and light golden. Then add the bell peppers and cook 2 minutes. Add the corn, sauté 3-4 minutes. Now add the spices and salt, sauté for a minute, then  switch off the flame. Add the chopped coriander leaves. Keep this aside.
For The Batter

In a large bowl, add cornmeal, flour, salt, sugar and baking powder, and whisk.
In a another bowl, whisk eggs and sour cream. Gradually whisk in the melted butter.

Combine the sautéed mixture to the dry ingredients along with the egg mixture and mix well. Add half of the grated cheese. Pour the batter into a buttered baking dish ( 8×9, 11 x 7) or you can bake it in a 10-inch cast iron skillet).

Top with the remaining cheese. Batter should not be over 2 inches high.

Bake uncovered, for 25-35 minutes or until puffed and golden (it will dome)! 

Sprinkle with chopped coriander leaves!
