BABY CORNS IN TOMATO SAUCE

Hi Shru and Pooh

It is a long time since I sent you a recipe. Had got very busy with so many things as you know.

I had brought home some baby corns and some how didnt feel like making sabzi for rotis. So I thought I would make something else with that. It turned out very tasty. So here it is for you to try!

Ingredients:

100 gms baby corn (about 10 pieces)
garlic 2 big pods or 4 small pods
ginger 1/2 "
green chillies 2
oil 2-3 tablespoons
salt, about 1/4 teaspoon
tomato sauce about 4 tablespoons

Procedure:
Take out the covering layers of the baby corn. Add 2 tablespoons of oil in a thick kadai or nonstick kadai and heat. Add baby corns and roast for about 3-4 minutes till golden brown. Keep then aside.
Add one teaspoon oil to the kadai, add finely cut garlic, ginger and green chillies one by one and fry for a few seconds. Add tomato sauce and bring it to boil. Add salt. Add roasted baby corn and mix well. Remove from fire. Serve hot. (Eat it hot! All recipes say serve hot, does it mean that you should not eat?) :)

Of course this masala is the same as that we use for making manchooris. The difference is, here we dont make pakodas out of the corn as we do in manchoori. No deep frying is involved. Still the corns remain crisp.

This can be used as a starter also or as an evening snack while it is raining or when it is cold outside.

Try this with Alu also. Let me know how it tasted.
