How to make Southwestern Succotash

Lay chillies on their sides on racks of gas burners, then turn flames on moderately high and roast chillies, turning with tongs, until skins are blistered, 5 to 7 minutes. (Or grill on rack of a grill pan about 2 inches from heat, turning, 8 to 10 minutes.) Transfer chillies immediately to a large bowl and cover tightly. Let steam 10 minutes, then peel or rub off skins and discard stems, seeds, and ribs. Cut chillies into 1/3-inch pieces.

Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion and red pepper, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add garlic, black pepper, cumin seeds, and 1/4 teaspoons salt and sauté, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add corn, tomatoes, squash, and 1/2 teaspoons salt and cook over moderately high heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are just tender and have exuded liquid, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove lid and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes.

Stir in chillies, cream, lime juice, 2 tablespoons coriander, and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon coriander.
