Instructions
Prepare the Baby Corn:
- Wash the baby corn thoroughly.

- Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, chaat masala, asafoetida powder, chilli powder, garam masala powder, and salt.
- Add the crushed ginger, garlic, and green chilli paste.
- Add chopped coriander leaves.
- Mix everything well.
Add Flours:
- Add cornflour, rice flour, and besan to the marinated baby corn.
- Mix well.
- Add a very small amount of water, just enough to bind the mixture. Mix well to ensure the baby corn is coated.
Fry the Baby Corn:
- Heat oil in a pan on medium flame. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
- Carefully add the coated baby corn pieces to the hot oil, a few at a time.
- Fry them, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Once fried, remove them from the oil and drain any excess oil.
Serving Suggestion (Optional):
- In a bowl, take the fried baby corn.
- Add chopped onion and chopped tomato.
- Sprinkle some chaat masala and chilli powder on top.
- Mix well and serve.
- These fried baby corn pieces are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and not oily.
