Baby corn pepper fry recipe (Stir fry)

Baby corn pepper fry, simple, quick stir fry with baby corn. Goes well as side dish for rice based lunch menu. Stepwise photos.

I cook baby corn weekly once at-least, as it is one of the few vegetable that Aj eats. But, Vj used to always complain he gets a different (medicine) smell in baby corn whenever I make something. Recently, I have started buying Organic vegetables that is available in Fairprice. But they have very few choice, so I look for and buy possible vegetables like ladies finger, radish, beans, cabbage, cucumber and this baby corn.

Also, carrots rarely will be good, so pick that too. You would have seen these cute carrots in my carrot orange juice. But, now a days not so good looking carrots is there in the organic section, so I go for the usual Australian carrots.  Vj now a days insists to buy these organic baby corns as he finds it perfect. Of course, no complains, no odd smell in it. Even I realize that. I make baby corn bajji for Aj or this stir fry these days.

Baby corn pepper fry preparation summary:

First, slice baby corn into thin roundels or as strips. Cook it retaining it's crunchiness by pressure cooking and quick releasing the pressure. Alternately, you can also boil for 3-4 mins in open pot. Later, it is stir fried with onion and other spices quickly to coat.

However, garlic can be added crushed with knife, garlic press or even finely chopped. Use ½ teaspoon of fresh ginger garlic paste if you want to replace it.
