- Wash and dry the baby corns.
- Grind well together the green chillies, garlic and ginger to form a smooth paste. A tip here – in case you find it difficult to grind because of smaller quantities, use 2-4 tbsp water and use the same to make the batter.
- Add salt and chilli garlic paste, to the freshly ground mix and marinate the washed and dried baby corn by coating them and refrigerating for 15-20 minutes.
- Once you are ready to serve, heat oil in a deep dish frying pan.
- Prepare the batter with all-purpose flour, corn starch, coriander, salt, baking soda and just enough water to make a thick batter that will coat the baby corns well.
- Coat each marinated baby corn with a thick covering and fry immediately in hot oil.
- Do not turn for the first minute. Then turn the baby corns and fry until golden brown.
- Plate them beautifully with a sprinkle of chopped spring onion greens and chat masala if you like.
- Serve immediately with the dipping sauce version of our magical chilli garlic paste or fresh homemade green chutney!
Tips and Tricks

- In case the baby corns you’ve bought are not very tender (which might happen if non-seasonal) then don’t forget to blanch them for 3-4 minutes.
- If you don’t have the chilli garlic paste handy, please use any other chilli paste you have available or omit it all together.
- Serve immediately once ready, fritters taste best hot and crispy.
- You could add 2 tbsp of gram flour instead of 2 tbsp of all purpose flour.
- You could also chop up these fritters into small discs and prep them in a dry Manchurian style for a change.
