there are a few dishes that i make with baby corn. some of them are in the drafts as well which i will be posting soon. baby corn blends well with any gravy or sauce, be it north indian, indo chinese or even world cuisine.

i usually add baby corn in pulao or rice dishes or in indo chinese recipes. on some rare occasion i make proper baby corn based dishes. thats why there are only few baby corn recipes in the blog like baby corn manchurian, chilli baby corn recipe and baby corn jalfrezi.

this baby corn masala recipe does not use any heavy ingredients like butter and cream. so is light and yet delicious. the creaminess comes from the blended cashews, magaz (melon seeds) and tomatoes.

baby corn masala curry recipe goes well with rotis, naan, steamed rice or jeera rice. you can also accompany some fresh vegetable salad by the side.

5. continue to saute and stir pretty often till the oil separates from the sides of the masala. once it starts releasing the oil then add the spice powders.

6. continue sauting till the whole masala starts coming together.
