Chilly Baby Corn

Some days back I had bought a packet of babycorn from the mall. I like to keep babycorns, mushrooms, canned pineapples handy so if unexpected guests turn up you are ever ready to cook up a great meal in no time without worrying.

Chilly baby corn is one of the most easy and yummy dish which will never go wrong . It can be used simply as starter or as a side dish with fried rice or noodles. This dish hardly takes 10 to 15 minutes to be prepared.
Since no guests turned up and I had one packet left I decided to make it for us and thoroughly enjoyed it with the vegetable fried rice.



Ingredients :

10 to 12................baby corns
1 bunch.................spring onion
1.........................capsicum.
1tsp ....................cornflour
2 tbsp..................tomato ketchup
1tsp....................chilly sauce
1 tsp...................chilly powder ( if you like it hot)
1tsp....................soy sauce
1 tsbp....................garlic (very finely chopped)
2tbsp......................oil
salt

Method :

Wash the baby corns and par boil them for 10 minutes.
Drain the water and apply the  ketchup, chilly sauce, soy sauce, chopped garlic, salt and cornflour
to the baby corn and keep aside for some time.

In the meanwhile cut capsicums into long stripes and chop the spring onion .

Heat oil in a non stick pan and add capsicum and spring onion.
Cook for 2 to 3 mintutes on high flame taking care not to overcook the vegetables.
Now add the marinated baby corns along with the marinade and stir for 5 minutes .
Can serve it as a starter or even as a dry side dish with fried rice or noodles.


Note : Add very little salt to the dish as all the three sauces already have salt in it. You may not be required to add salt at all.
