Points to remember while making chilli baby corn

  1. Make sure the baby corn is fresh and firm. It should not be soft by any chance. 
  2. Do not slice the baby corn too thin or too thick or you will lose the lovely crunch.
  3. Many people even prefer blanching the baby corn before frying, but, we like them this way.
  4. We have deep-fried the baby corn, if you are looking for a relatively healthier option then you can pan fry them.
  5. Once fried , do not keep the baby corn idle for a long time or else it will beome soggy.
  6. This is a semi-dry preparation, if you want gravy then add vegetable stock and increase the amount of sauces. Finally, add a corn-flour slurry so that it reduces down to the perfect consistency.

For the chinese chilli baby corn batter

  1. In a deep bowl, take plain flour.
  2. Add cornflour to it. The addition of cornflour makes baby corn more crispy upon frying. 
  3. Add freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste.
  4. Using ½ cup of water, whisk everything well to make a thick batter. The batter should not be too thin or else it won't coat well. Keep aside.

How to proceed

  1. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan and dip a few baby corn pieces in the prepared batter and deep-fry few at a time till they are light brown in colour from all the sides.
  2. Drain all on an absorbent paper and keep aside.
  3. Combine the cornflour and 2 tbsp of water in a small bowl and mix well. Keep aside.
  4. Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the green chillies, ginger and garlic.
  5. Now add the spring onion whites and greens & celery and sauté on a medium flame for 2 minutes.
  6. Add the capsicum and sauté on a medium flame for 1 minute.
  7. Add the soy sauce. Soy sauce is the most important sauce in Indo-chinese cuisine. It is salty so make sure you add salt carefully in the dish after adding soy sauce.
  8. Add chilli sauce and vinegar. Depending upon your preference you can also add schezuan sauce or ketchup. 
  9. Finally, add the cornflour-water mixture. This reduces the sauce and coats the baby corn completely.
  10. Now season it with sugar and salt, mix well and cook on a medium flame for few seconds, while stirring it continuously.
  11. Add the deep-fried babycorn, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 1 to minutes, while stirring it continuously.
  12. Garnish with spring onion greens.
  13. Serve immediately. Enjoy this indo-chinese crispy starter with main course dishes like vegetable fried-rice and hakka noodles
