I made this baby corn manchuria last week, since my MIL loves it.
Here goes the recipe.....
For Deep frying:
Baby corn - 10-12, cut into small pieces
Maida or all purpose flour - 1 tablespoon
Corn flour - 1 tablespoon
Split chickpeas powder (Kadalai mavu/Besan) - 1 tablespoon
Chilli powder - 1-2 teaspoons or Green Chilli paste - 1-2 teaspoons or pepper powder - 1-2 teaspoons
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tablespoon
Salt to taste
Milk - 1/4 cup
Garam masala powder - a pinch
Oil for deep fry
Onions - 1 medium sized, finely chopped
Capsicum - 1, chopped
spring onions - A bunch, chopped
Green chillies - 2-3 cut into 2 slices
Garlic - 2-3 cloves finely chopped
Tomato sauce - 2 tablespoons
Chilli Garlic sauce - 2 tablespoons
Butter/Ghee/Oil - 1-2 teaspoons
Salt a pinch
Coriander leaves - few
Boil 4 cups of water with little salt. Wash baby corn, cut into pieces and soak in boiling water for 15-20 minutes.
Mix maida, corn flour, chickpeas powder, ginger garlic paste, chilli powder, salt in little milk to make a thick paste.
Drain water completely from soaked pieces. Toss the pieces in the paste.
Heat Oil in a pan and deep fry until they are crispy. Keep them aside.
Broken Corn flakes or bread crumbs can also be added to the paste, so that it will be more cripsy.
Heat oil. Add chopped garlic, onions, green chillies and fry until onions are golden brown.
Then add capsicum and fry until they are cooked. Add spring onions and salt to taste.
Add tomato sauce, chilli garlic sauce and saute it for 1-2 minutes until all gets mixed well.
Then add fried baby corn pieces and toss them well. Garnish with Coriander leaves and serve hot.
Cooking time : 45 minutes
Serves for 3-4 persons
