BABY CORN FRITTERS

INGREDIENTS:

Baby corn - 10 nos.
Oil - to deep fry

For the batter:

Corn flour - 3 tablespoons
Maida - 1 tablespoon
Rice flour - 1 tablespoon
Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp.
Salt - as per taste
Soya sauce - 1 tsp. (optional)
Curd - 1 tablespoon
Tomato red food colour - 1/4 tsp.
Kesari powder - 1/4 tsp.

NOTE: You can also use orange food colour instead of Tomato red colour and kesari powder. As I had these two ingredients, I have used it to get the desired colour. If you do not have a MW oven, you can cook the baby corns in boiling water for 3 minutes and drain the water.

METHOD:

Peel the skin and take off the fibres from the baby corn. Wash well, cut into two and Microwave High(uncovered) for 2 minutes.

Make a medium - thin batter with the given ingredients adding little water, just enough to cover the baby corns. Mix it well without any lumps. Marinate the microwaved baby corns for 10 minutes in this batter.

Deep fry in oil,(ensure even coating on all sides) till golden and crispy. Serve hot with tomato - ketchup and chilli sauce. Perfect and tasty tea time snack. Goes well with fried rice and also with phulkas as a dry curry.
