Baby corn manchurian tastes excellent. baby corn is already crispy and when shallow fried it turns even more crispy and delicious. If your baby corns are very tender and short you can keep them as such and shallow fry, if they are some what big you can cut each baby corn into 2 and make baby corn manchurian recipe. For all indo chinese recipes I prefer sesame oil, they impart a nice flavor to the dish. If you do not have sesame oil handy you can use Indian gingely oil or olive oil. If you do not want to use bottled soy sauce in baby corn manchurian recipe, you can leave it out, the manchurian will be still tasty and flavorful. Make sure you add loads of spring onions, ginger etc.
To make baby corn manchurian recipe, I have used colored bell peppers in manchurian sauce. Bell peppers are optional in manchurian sauce but they add to the taste and flavor of the dish. The thickness of sauce is an individual preferance. If you want to make very dry baby corn manchurian, you can make the sauce more thick and just coat the fried baby corn else you can make it a bit thin too. Just increase/ decrease the amount of corn flour in the sauce.
Here is how to make dry baby corn manchurian recipe, do give this easy restaurant style baby corn manchurian a try!
