    Creamy Baby corn masala is a delicious gravy based dish that is perfect to serve with naan, roti or simple pulao.

    Creamy Baby Corn Masala

    For the final day of this week’s BM under ‘regional side dishes’, I have a delicious gravy based, creamy baby corn masala. To me (and my kids agree), the gravy is the highlight of this dish.

    Sub baby corn with any of your favorite veggie or protein and you have a yummy side dish. This is perfect to serve with both Roti or rice. It’s rich and creamy - special enough to make for parties too.

    We are currently getting the house ready for the move end of this month. Kitchen is the hardest part because I have so much stuff - random things end up in my shopping cart at the grocery store. I actually stopped buying ‘new’ pantry ingredients about 3 months ago and I’ve been sticking to the basics/ essentials. But I still have a ton to go through. So I made a list of ingredients to use up before the move.Creamy Baby Corn Masala

    Creamy Baby Corn Masala Curry:

    I had couple of cans of baby corn that needed to be used up and hence this recipe was born. If you find fresh baby corn, then please use those here.

    Ingredients for Creamy Gravy:

    The gravy recipe is pretty straight forward and standard. Onion and tomato are cooked until mushy. Then ground to a paste.

    My daughter doesn’t like ‘onions’. So I have grind them to a paste, to make her eat the dish. You can choose to keep the gravy chunky by not grinding the base. This will help in making the dish faster and still very tasty.with almond/ cashew paste and some heavy cream to make it rich.

    Almond/ Cashew paste are added to give the dish richness and creaminess. But the final drizzle of cream makes it decadent and delicious.

    Substitution Ideas:

    This is a very basic gravy recipe that will go well with any veggie. So if you are not a big fan of baby corn, then use cauliflower, potato or mixed veggies. Add protein like paneer, tofu, chickpeas etc to make it filling and wholesome.

    Serve this baby corn masala with naan, paratha, roti or simple pulao/ pilaf. Few more recipes with Baby Corn from the blog:

      Good luck with the move. I agree that the kitchen is the hardest to pack and unpack but has to be the first one too. The gravy would be very yummy and rich for sure.

      Pavani, you don't have to feel different, my kids are the same. They don't like onions and tomatoes and this and that. Basically, they want pureed creamy side dishes. So I am not surprised. Good luck with the move, I somehow thought you have already moved and in the process of settling. The dish looks so good and I am sure kids said right..:)

      I can understand your dilemma perfectly since we seem to be addicted to grocery shopping as well. That is a perfect rich and creamy base for any curry in my world and the dish sounds flavorful. 🙂

      while the recipe is extremely simple to prepare, yet i would like to share some tips, variations and serving suggestions for baby corn masala recipe. firstly, as mentioned previously i would heavily recommend to use tender baby corn for this recipe. usually baby corn’s are sold together in a bunch of 6-7 in a pack and make sure it is fresh and tender while purchasing. secondly, the same recipe can be extended further by adding grounded cashew and coconut and it can be referred as baby corn kurma. in addition, the same recipe can also be extended further by adding veggies like paneer, mushroom and potatoes to prepare mix vegetables masala recipe.
