This is a simple stir fry which goes well for rice n roti. I got this idea from my neighbour. I have given two versions .. One is my version in which I followed the method of potato curry and the second one is my neighbours’ version which is purely a south Indian style .
Based on your liking, try any. Both tastes good. I pressure cooked the baby corn to ensure proper cooking but that step is purely optional. We can just saute the baby corns, cover and cook by sprinkling little water as my neighbour suggested.
- Baby corn – 8-10 nos
- Big onion – 1 no (finely chopped)
- Ginger – 1 inch (-do-)
- Garlic cloves – 6 nos ( –do-)
- Red chilly powder / Sambhar powder –3/4 – 1 tsp
- Garam masala powder – 1/2 tsp
- Salt & water – as needed
- Lemon juice – 1/2 tsp ( adjust)
- Curry leaves – few
- Coriander leaves – few
To Temper:
- Olive oil / cooking oil – 1 tbsp
- Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
- Jeera – 1/2 tsp

METHOD

NOTE
- Ginger&garlic paste can be used instead of ginger , garlic pieces.
- Baby corn need not be pressure cooked. Instead it can be sauteed in oil & cooked by covering it in the kadai sprinkling little water in between..
- Tomatoes can be used instead of lemon juice..
