What is baby corn fry?
Baby corn fry is an easy starter or snack recipe made with baby corns. Chopped baby corns are marinated with yogurt, spice powders and some corn flour. We then fry the baby corns until crispy and golden. Furthermore the fried baby corns are garnished with kasuri methi.
While most of the recipes call for deep frying the baby corns, I have shallow fried them here. You can also easily shallow fry them but make sure to do it in low flame.
It is a very dry and crispy starter without any sauces. Unlike manchurian recipes it is not even a bit soggy. You can make this baby corn fry to even pack in kids snack box. As we are using rice flour it remains crispy for a long time.
