Baby Corn Fritters / Fried Baby Corn

Very easy to prepare compared to other kebabs and tikkis but worthy of serving on the same platter, Baby Corn Fritters are a really mouth-watering preparation of crisp, tender baby corn coated with a flavourful batter before deep-frying. The innate texture of baby corn by itself is enough to make these fritters a great hit, but with the cooperation of a tangy batter enhanced with spice powders and curds, it really rises to a much higher plane of culinary excellence. Serve it fresh and crisp with chilli-garlic sauce for a really exciting experience.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes.
Cooking Time: 15 minutes.
Serves 3.

1 cup baby corn, cut into halves vertically
½ cup plain flour (maida)
1 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp curds (dahi)
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp garlic (lehsun) paste
A pinch of soda bi-carb
Salt to taste
Oil for deep-frying

For serving
Chilli-garlic sauce

1. Combine all the ingredients along with approx. ½ cup of water in a deep bowl and mix well using a whisk to make a thick batter.
2. Dip each baby corn halve into the batter and deep-fry in hot oil, a few at a time, till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper.
Serve immediately with chilli-garlic sauce.
