Baby corns are nutritious vegetable that we often avoid in our list. This is very crispy and its very difficult to think about making a curry out of.
I have tried a few of baby corn recipes out of my crazy imaginations and will share with all of you here
Method:
Baby corn - 1 packet (6 corns)
Maida flour - 1 tbspn
Bread crumbs and oil as required
Make a paste of maida with salt , chilli powder (if you want) or can add chilly sauce, tomato sauce , garlic paste etc.. You can add the ingredients according to you taste for all these items..or can add anything extra also. The paste shouldnt be too thick or too runny
Now dip the corn one by one on this paste roll over bread crumbs. Fry in very hot oil for few second. take care not to charr the crumps. so turn it up and down in between
Enjoy with tomato sauce.
How to make use of this baby corns left in my fridge. Have tried the fries version of it earlier. So dont want to fry it again as being calorie conscious. Tried making sabjo out of it with mushroom and alone.. Wanted to try something in a different way. So thought will make it with coconut milk. Finally decided on the stew. To get that colourful appearance have added few chopped paalak leaves too.Here goes the recipe:
Baby corn - 1 pkt
Paalak - 2 tbspn (leaves chopped)
Onion -1 big
Garlic cloves - 5-6 nos chopped
ginger -1/2 inch sliced thin
Green chilly -2-3
Crushed pepper - 1tbspn
Curry leaves - few
saunf - 1tspn
cloves- 2 nos
cinnamon -1 inch size slit into 2
cardamom -3 nos
salt and oil as required
Coconut milk -200 ml
Heat oil in a pan, add saunf, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom one by one. Also add chopped onion, garlic, ginger, green chillies, and saute till the raw smell is gone.
Add baby corn now and saute till oil is coated on all sides and half cooked. Now add paalak. Saute till water comes out of leaves. Close the lid and allow the baby corn to cook in that water.Sprinkel some salt on top. Reduce the flame to medium/simmer
Finally add the thick coconut milk and wait till bubble comes. . Simmer the flame once again and close and cook . Pour some oil (1 tspn) over the top once the gravy is thick.
Serve hot with rice/roti.
