Prep Work
1. Remove the husk and wash baby corn well. In a microwave safe bowl, add baby corn along with some water and set on microwave high for 4-5 mins until the baby corn is tender. Drain the water and let the corn cool down.
How I Made
1. In a bowl, add all-purpose flour/maida, rice flour, corn flour, red chilli powder, garam masala powder & cooking soda – mix well. Add water little by little and make a batter that is of dripping consistency.
2. Meanwhile heat oil in a pan for deep frying. Once hot, set it on medium flame. Dip each baby corn in the batter and put it gently into the hot oil 2-3 at a time. Fry until golden brown on all sides and remove from oil, strain on a paper towel. Repeat this with rest of the baby corn.
3. Serve hot as a snack with a side of ketchup. Works best for any fried rice or noodles.
Recipe Notes
- Instead of using the full baby corn, chop it into bite sized pieces if desired.
- Adjust the spices as per preference.
- The cooking soda (baking soda) yields lightness to this dish and makes the fried baby corn crispy and light.
- Blanching or slightly boiling the baby corn before frying is recommended as I fried them whole and it could take longer to get cooked while frying.
- Make sure the oil is hot and then set it on medium flame. Don’t fry over low or very high flame.
