How to Make Crispy Baby Corn at Home?
- To make a crispy baby corn starter, the very basic ingredient you need is fresh baby corn. Avoid too young, tender, and even hard kernels.
- Cut the corn kernel into 2 parts and start picking the entire kernels from the cob without cutting with a knife. Take a bowl and add them to it. Cutting with a knife will make the kernels splutter while frying.
- Add it to the salted hot water and keep boiling for 2 minutes. Skip this step if your kernels are milky and not hard.
- Drain them and rinse under running water. Once excess water drains up, you can then add them to a wide bowl.
- Pour oil into a deep pan for frying. Keep the flame to medium. While the oil is heating, coat corn kernels with the flour.
- Check if the corns are moist – add salt, pepper, 3 tbsp cornflour and 3 tbsp rice flour. Let them toss to coat with the flour then.
- Now, repeat adding rest of the flour as required and toss them again.
- Now, by this time, the oil must be heat up, at this time, drop one kernel and check. Ensure that the oil is hot; else the flour may disperse in it.
- Regulate the flame to medium and don’t disturb the heat flow until you see corns floating on top – keep off if they turn lumpy.
- Remove them to a colander when they become crunchy.
- Once you have fried all corns, add all to a bowl and sprinkle red chilli powder, cumin powder and Chaat Masala.
- Quickly remove them to serving plates and sprinkle onions and chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve Crispy Baby Corns immediately – you can now squeeze few drops of lemon juice if you want.
