Baby corn manchurian is a yummy and a popular Indo Chinese dish prepared by adding deep fried baby corn in spicy, sweet and tangy sauce/gravy loaded with ginger, garlic and spring onions. This recipe is a dry baby corn manchurian.


What is Baby Corn?
Baby corn is small, underdeveloped corn harvested at early stage when stalks are still immature and small. Baby corns are crunchy and have tender texture and common in many stir fry dishes, soups, appetizers and so on.


Baby corn is usually not available in stores in US here or I have never noticed these in the past 10 years here – the fresh ones but have used in recipes the canned baby corn with which I made this manchurian. To my surprise during my recent visit to a store found fresh ones of course packed ones not the one with husk (laughs) and grabbed few packets to make more dishes. Do you guys want to know the store or some might already witnessed it. Yes its found in TRADER Joe’s guys. So next time when you guys visit this store make sure to grab few packets and add them to your favorite foods like fried rice, noodles, soups, pasta, manchurian and so on.

As you all know manchurian can be made with gobi, soya, paneer, corn, mixed veggies both dry or gravy version but this post is about baby corn manchurian is a dry version where it can be served as appetizer and baby corn manchurian can be prepared with more gravy/ sauce and can be relished along with noodles or fried rice. This manchurian can be prepared in Air fryer too!
