Blend the corn kernels with the scallions, red onion, and cilantro to taste. If necessary, add a splash of water. Add the garlic, half the lard, salt, pepper, and cumin. Continue blending. It should form a thick paste.
In a frying pan, melt the remaining lard and fry the yellow chili pepper.
Add the blended mixture and cook over medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and turns a deeper green color. Adjust the salt to taste.
Blanch the corn husks.
Place portions of the dough on the blanched corn husks, wrap and tie with string.
In a pot, heat water and enough corn husks for steaming. Place the tamales on top and cook over low heat for 30 to 40 minutes, or until firm.
Serve with Creole sauce.
