Baby Corn & Capsicum Stir Fry is a quick, easy and spicy side dish which pairs perfectly with fried rice or any flavored rice. You can even serve this as a starter | appetizer or as a snack.
Yesterday I have been to farmers market (Rythu Bazar) here at mom’s place and found these cute little baby corns. There is something about baby corns that attracts me always. According to me you can create some amazing dishes with baby corn with ease. The simple thing to remember while cooking baby corn is to retain their crunch. The crunchier the baby corn the tastier the dish.
I either make Baby Corn Manchurian or Baby Corn 65 whenever I get hold of fresh baby corn but this time I thought of trying out something new. As jeera rice and dhaba style dal fry were already in the menu, I thought of making a simple baby corn & capsicum stir fry to go along with the recipes.
Though I always grill the baby corn and capsicum to make this stir fry, today I made it simple by microwaving the baby corn, capsicum and onion cubes. Then I tossed them in garlic-soya sauce mixture. Baby corn was so crunchy and yummy that half of the fry went off as starter while I was still serving the food in plates….Check out the simple recipe with minimal and handy ingredients below….
