BM# 68-Cooking Carnival: Day 11
Theme of Week 3: Vegetables in Snacks
Dish: Baby corn Roast
Today’s snack with vegetable is this simple and addictive Baby Corn Roast. I noted the recipe from a Telugu cooking show a while back, finally got around to make it for this week’s theme.
I usually keep canned baby corn in the pantry to use in Indo-Chinese dishes. The canned ones are quite convenient in that I don’t have to boil them, just rinse and thoroughly drain. But if you are using fresh baby corn, then boil them for a few minutes to make them tender.
This dish takes just a few minutes to cook and it is spicy and delicious. You can cut down on the spice level if you want. I used a seeded jalapeno that wasn’t too spicy, so I added a dry red chili and some red chili powder too. If spicy food is not your thing, then you can tone it down. Serve it as an appetizer or snack and I’m sure people will come back for seconds.

It might seem surprising but I haven’t tried baby corn so far though it seems to be a favorite of my husband’s. I remember him getting really impressed when he saw your dish in September. I have promptly bookmarked it. 🙂
