Baby Corn Masala

This is a tasty side dish made with baby corn. As i had mentioned in an earlier post, this is the side dish which i made for roti and all my family members liked it a lot.

Its not that difficult to make this dish. Just do all the cutting of vegetables first and then do the cooking. Its an easier method of cooking.

Try this out and it tastes like a restaurant style side dish. :)

1/2 tsp Jeera
1/2 tsp Amchur powder/ Dry mango powder

• Pressure cook baby corn with water, turmeric powder and salt till half cooked. Take it off from heat and keep aside.

• Grind this mixture along with cashew nuts to a smooth paste. Keep this aside.
• Heat little oil in a non stick pan. Put garlic and when it turns colour, put the diced onion and capsicum. Stir fry for some time. Don't allow the onions to cook completely. Take it off from heat when the onion and capsicum is crunchy. Keep this aside.
• Heat oil in a kadai. Put jeera. When it turns colour, add the ground mixture.
• Stir fry it till oil leaves the sides. Now add the boiled baby corn and adjust the gravy by adding the same water which was used for boiling baby corns.
