Baby corn manchurian recipe
My kid loves baby corn a lot! So I am always in search for recipes using baby corn. I have tasted baby corn manchurian in restaurants and always wanted to try at home! When I googled for images,I got attracted by the picture of Nag’s Baby corn Manchurian. So I decided to try and she too have adapted the recipe from her sister,so double the assurance. I already once have tried Gobi manchurian and today I tried the baby corn version. Since it was tasting awesome,I thought I will have this recipe in my blog too..:)
Since I wanted my baby corn in a softer side,I just pressure cooked it till 3 whistles. Other wise I followed her recipe,other than few measures that I changed according to my taste. I did used a sprig of cilantro leaves,since I like it that way.

Notes

  • Do not add more than 1 tsp of corn flour and 1/2 cup water, if corn flour is added more, it will turn soggy.
  • You can add a tsp of lemon juice along with sauces for a tangy twist.
  • Be generous adding coriander leaves, as it lends a great flavour.
  • I used to pressure cook before, but then I found its not necessary, so when I updated this recipe, I skipped that step. 
  • Also, I forgot to add red chilli powder in step 3 when i updated the stepwise pictures.

Decorate with spring onions,chopped and enjoy as a starter or side for fried rice!!

    Hi Rak's , I am quite new to cooking. I tried your moong dal sambar, it came out very well. then i tried your Babycorn Manchurian, it came out great, this success motivated me to try your Kumbakonam kadappa as a side dish for Idly (one food which my huby doesnt like at all, hence to make him eat it), Excellent is the word from my huby & he ate 2 more idlis. Thank you so much . Please keep posting, will try all yours one by one. Now my MIL & FIL also started appreciating me. Thanks to you. (Note: I am married for the past 1.5 yrs & carrying 5th month. Now i have gained confidence that I too can cook good food for my child n huby.)All the credits is yours . Thanks again.

    Hi it looks really delicious and mouthwatering. I have a small doubt on your receipe, can we avoid the chilli sauce and soya sauce? Or is it really essential?

    Can you clarify whether babycorn needs to be cooked or not? Your first step says "cooked babycorn" but in the notes you mention you stopped pressure cooking.
