Baby Corn & Capsicum Stir Fry Recipe
Baby Corn & Capsicum Stir Fry is a quick, easy, and spicy dish that tastes amazing with fried rice, jeera rice, or any flavored rice. You can even enjoy it as a starter, appetizer, or snack.
Yesterday, I visited the farmers market (Rythu Bazar) at mom’s place and spotted some fresh, cute little baby corns. I don’t know what it is about baby corn, but it always grabs my attention. For me, baby corn is one of those ingredients that can turn into something delicious with very little effort.
The key to cooking baby corn is simple—retain the crunch. The crunchier the baby corn, the tastier the dish.
Usually, I make Baby Corn Manchurian or Baby Corn 65 whenever I get fresh baby corn. But this time, as jeera rice and dhaba-style dal fry were already on the menu, I wanted something new and simple. That’s how this stir fry happened.

Why You’ll Love This Stir Fry
- Quick to make with minimal ingredients
- Baby corn stays crunchy and flavorful
- Works as side dish, snack, or appetizer
- A great way to use baby corn with capsicum
- Light yet satisfying
My Twist On The Recipe
Normally, I grill the baby corn and capsicum for this stir fry. But yesterday, I made it even simpler by microwaving the baby corn, capsicum, and onion cubes before tossing them in a garlic-soya sauce mixture.
The result? Crisp, crunchy, and so tasty that half of it disappeared as a starter while I was still serving food on plates.

Main Ingredients
- Baby Corn – Baby corn is the star of this dish. Always choose fresh, tender, and evenly sized baby corns for the best crunch. Avoid overcooking, as the crunch is what makes this stir fry delicious. You can microwave, boil, or even grill them depending on your taste preference.
- Capsicum (Bell Pepper) – Capsicum adds color, flavor, and crunch. Use green capsicum for a classic touch, or mix red and yellow for a vibrant stir fry. Make sure not to overcook—slightly crisp capsicum tastes best here.
- Garlic & Ginger – These two bring out the aromatic base of the dish. Freshly chopped garlic and ginger add a wonderful flavor that blends beautifully with soya sauce.
- Onion – Onion gives a subtle sweetness and balances the spice. Slice them thick so they stay crunchy and don’t turn mushy while stir frying.
- Soya Sauce & Vinegar – The key to that Indo-Chinese flavor. Soya sauce adds umami depth, while vinegar adds a sharp tang to balance the spice. Always add them on high flame for a smoky stir fry flavor.
- Pepper Powder – Adds a gentle heat and enhances the overall taste without overpowering the crunch of the veggies. Adjust to your spice preference.

How To Serve Baby Corn Capsicum Stir Fry
- Serve as an appetizer or starter.
- Pair it with jeera rice, fried rice, or even dhaba-style dal fry.
- Use it as a wrap stuffing—just add it to roti or paratha, drizzle chaat masala and tomato sauce, and roll. Viola! A quick indulgence.
- Make a sandwich—add the stir fry between bread slices and toast. Instant snack!

This Baby Corn & Capsicum Stir Fry is a real keeper—spicy, crunchy, and versatile. Whether you serve it as a side dish with rice or as a quick snack, it’s always a hit.
If you love baby corn as much as I do, then this recipe is a must-try. Next time you find fresh baby corns at the market, don’t skip them—make this stir fry and enjoy the crunch in every bite.
