Golden Fried Babycorns

Golden Fried Babycorns is a tasty starter or snack. I had this long time when was in Bangalore at a office Party. Just saw a packet of babycorn in our Little India shop. So just grabed it, since the pack had only 6 corns thought of giving a try.

This has been pending in my drafts since very long time.

Ingredients
Baby corn - 1 pkt(6nos)
Kadalai Maav/Besan/Chickpea Flour -4 tspns
Corn Flour - 2 tspns
Red Chilli powder - 1/2 tspn
Maida - 1 tspn
Salt
Oil for deep frying

Preperation Method

In a wide bowl, mix all ingredients with water except maida. The batter should be like dosa batter form. Not too thin or thick.
Heat oil in a Kadai/wok.
Wash the babycorn, roll in maida and then dip in the batter.
Drop slowly one by one and deep fry till golden brown.
Remove it on a tissue. It will be crispy.

Serve with Tomato Ketchup or as it is. This can also be a tea time snack or for Kids.
