Instructions

Make the Baby Corn Fritters/ Pakoras:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, corn starch, ginger+garlic paste, red chili powder, salt and pepper. Add enough water to make a thick batter. Add the baby corn and toss around to coat with the batter evenly.
  • Heat oil in a small wok or pan for deep frying; add the baby corn in batches and cook till the coating is cooked. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel lined plate.
  • Once all the baby corn are fried once, return them to the hot oil and fry them again until golden on all sides. Frying them 2 times makes the pakora/ fritters crisp and crunchy.

To make the Baby Corn Pepper Fry:

  • Heat oil in a large saute pan; add the ginger and garlic and cook till golden and fragrant.
  • Next add the chopped peppers, green chilies (if using) and most of the scallions. Cook on medium high flame until the peppers are crisp tender.
  • Add tomato ketchup, soy sauce, green chili sauce, rice vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix well and add cook for 1~2 minutes.
  • Finally just before serving, add the fried baby corn fritters and cook for 1~2 minutes for the flavors to mingle. Garnish with reserved chopped scallions and serve immediately.
