Preheat oven to 375°. Sauté onions and garlic until soft. Add lentils, spices, flour, and broth. Simmer until things come together and sauce thickens. Stir in olives and raisins and remove from heat.

Combine corn, cornmeal, cornstarch, sugar, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Process until mixture forms a thick batter, adding milk as needed.
