Baked – Baby corn Manchurian with mushrooms
About:
Baby corn Manchurian is a indo-chinese starter which is crispy, crunchy and dry version. In this recipe have posted both Baked and shallow fried version. There is not much of a difference in crispiness and taste. However for shallow fry requires an added focus taking less time with an added calories. So you can choose either to shallow fry or bake.
In this recipe baby corn is coated in the corn starch & plain flour batter. Toasted using shallow fry or baking method and then sauted in sauces with onion, spring onion, capsicum. As a variation added mushrooms to this recipe. Vegetables and sauces can be personalized as per the taste.
