Baby Corn Manchurian

Thanks for all ur wishes....My lil one did have a nice time and enjoyed the day thoroughlly!! Now recipe time...Baby corn manchurian is almost the same as Gobi Manchurian but have added the recipe with lil adjustments in quantity. And this time I didnt deep fry them, instead toasted them in dosa tawa and there was no much taste difference. I usually use iron kadai/tawa as I feel it gets the veggies nicely fried than the non-stick ones.

Ingredients:

Baby Corn - 5 to 6 cut into 3 pieces or halved

For the batter :

• Cornflour - 4 tbsp
• Maida - 1 tbsp
• Ginger Garlic paste - 2 tsp
• Red chilly powder- 1 tsp
• Salt-to taste
• Oil- to toast
• Orange color - optional

Method:

1. Pressure cook baby corn for 3 whistles with water. It should only be half cooked, Drain water and keep aside.


2. Mix all the above ingredients with little water to form a thick batter.
   Dip the cooked baby corn in the batter and toast it with oil in dosa tawa until crispy/roasted well.

For the manchurian

• Oil - 1 tbsp
• Garlic sliced/paste - 1 tbsp
• Capsicum - 1 medium size cut into ½ inch squares
• Big Onion- 1 finely chopped
• Soya sauce - 2 tsp
• Tomato sauce - 2 tbsp (I usually mix with 2tsp water to form thin watery sauce before adding)
• Red chilly powder - 1tsp
• Salt - to taste
• Spring onions - a handful (Most of the time I run out of stock when I do manchurians so dont search in mine ;))
• Corn Flour - 1.5 tbsp mixed with 3 tbsp water

Method:

1. Heat oil and saute the sliced garlic, onion and capsicum for 3mins. Let the onions and capsicum retain its crispiness and do not let them turn brown.


2. Now add the red chilly powder and salt,mix well. Keep in high flame and add soya sauce and mix continuously for a few seconds.


3. Simmer and add tomato sauce water mixture to this, mix well. Now add the cornflour water mixture and mix well till it gets thick.Add toasted baby corn in it and mix well.


4. Saute for 3-4 minutes to absorb excess water. Baby corn should be well coated with the sauce, then switch off.The baby corn pieces should be a little crispy and not soggy at this stage. Serve hot!
