I have a love affair with baby corn, in fact corn too. I love love love baby corn and am always trying to b,uy bags of it. So I have made Baby Corn Jalfrezi, Chilli Baby Corn, Baby Corn Masala but I cant call myself a baby corn lover without having post the recipe of golden fried baby corn 🙂 And here it is!

After a lot of deep frying for making Diwali sweets and savories, I wanted to keep our diet clean for a bit but really couldn’t resist posting this crispy golden baby corn. My very first memory of having tried this dish at a restaurant was almost 7yrs ago, when I met up my college friends briefly after joining work. The golden fried baby corn that we ordered was just perfect and for the first time, I saw someone fry a full baby corn instead of cutting it all up in chunks.

The perfect taste of those fried baby corns stayed in my memory all these years and I had to give it a try, atleast now. However, after searching the lengths & breadths of the internet for a similar recipe from what I could remember, I was not convinced. I took the matters into my hands and after a lot of trial & error, perfected this recipe. It was such a hit, really. The husband who loves baby corn couldn’t just stop eating 😀 The batter is so versatile and ever since, I have been using it with a lot of other vegetables too.

Prep Work

  1. Remove the husk and wash baby corn well. In a microwave safe bowl, add baby corn along with some water and set on microwave high for 4-5 mins until the baby corn is tender. Drain the water and let the corn cool down.

How I made

  1. In a bowl, add all-purpose flour/maida, rice flour, corn flour, red chilli powder, garam masala powder & cooking soda – mix well. Add water little by little and make a batter that is of dripping consistency.

  2. Meanwhile heat oil in a pan for deep frying. Once hot, set it on medium flame. Dip each baby corn in the batter and put it gently into the hot oil 2-3 at a time. Fry until golden brown on all sides and remove from oil, strain on a paper towel. Repeat this with rest of the baby corn.

  3. Serve hot as a snack with a side of ketchup. Works best for any fried rice or noodles.

Recipe Notes

Instead of using the full baby corn, chop it into bite sized pieces if desired. Adjust the spices as per preference. The cooking soda (baking soda) yields lightness to this dish and makes the fried baby corn crispy and light. Blanching or slightly boiling the baby corn before frying is recommended as I fried them whole and it could take longer to get cooked while frying. Make sure the oil is hot and then set it on medium flame. Don’t fry over low or very high flame.
