Baby Corn Stir Fry - Two Versions | Baby Corn Recipes

Print Friendly and PDF
baby corn stir fry

This is a simple stir fry which goes well for rice n roti. I got this idea from my neighbour. I have given two versions .. One is my version in which I followed the method of potato curry and the second one is my neighbours' version which is purely a south Indian style . 

Based on your liking, try any. Both tastes good. I pressure cooked the baby corn to ensure proper cooking but that step is purely optional. We can just saute the baby corns, cover and cook by sprinkling little water as my neighbour suggested.

INGREDIENTS
  • Baby corn – 8-10 nos
  • Big onion – 1 no (finely chopped)
  • Ginger – 1 inch (-do-)
  • Garlic cloves – 6 nos ( –do-)
  • Red chilly powder / Sambhar powder –3/4 - 1 tsp
  • Garam masala powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Salt & water – as needed
  • Lemon juice – 1/2 tsp ( adjust)
  • Curry leaves – few
  • Coriander leaves – few
To Temper:
  • Olive oil / cooking oil – 1 tbsp
  • Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
  • Jeera – 1/2 tsp

METHOD
  • Pressure cook baby corn for 1 whistle. Set aside.
  • In a kadai , heat oil and add the mustard seeds & jeera, once they start to splutter , add onions,ginger & garlic pieces,curry leaves.
  • Saute well. Add little turmeric powder, salt and mix well.
  • Now add the sambhar/ red chilly powder. Mix well.
  • Finally add the cut baby corn slices. Saute well for few minutes.
  • Add coriander leaves, lemon juice and remove it. 
Serve hot with rice and roti!!

NOTE
  • Ginger&garlic paste can be used instead of ginger , garlic pieces.
  • Baby corn need not be pressure cooked. Instead it can be sauteed in oil & cooked by covering it in the kadai sprinkling little water in between..
  • Tomatoes can be used instead of lemon juice..

  • Urad dal – 1/2 tsp
  • Curry leaves - few

  • Grind the items given under “to grind” without adding water.

I LOVE baby corn and that stir-fry is so yummy and tasty looking:)

radha said...

Both are nice, but does baby corn require pressure cooking? Curious. I have only used it with noodles. Only buy it for that purpose. Should get some and just try a stir fry like this.
