Baby corn pepper fry recipe (Stir fry) - Raks Kitchen (2024)

Baby corn pepper fry, simple, quick stir fry with baby corn. Goes well as side dish for rice based lunch menu. Stepwise photos.

I cook baby corn weekly once at-least, as it is one of the few vegetable that Aj eats. But, Vj used to always complain he gets a different (medicine) smell in baby corn whenever I make something. Recently, I have started buying Organic vegetables that is available in Fairprice. But they have very few choice, so I look for and buy possible vegetables like ladies finger, radish, beans, cabbage, cucumber and this baby corn.

Also, carrots rarely will be good, so pick that too. You would have seen these cute carrots in my carrot orange juice. But, now a days not so good looking carrots is there in the organic section, so I go for the usual Australian carrots. Vj now a days insists to buy these organic baby corns as he finds it perfect. Of course, no complains, no odd smell in it. Even I realize that. I make baby corn bajji for Aj or this stir fry these days.

Recipe card

Baby corn pepper fry method

1. Firstly, clean and cut baby corn into thin rounds. You can cut as long thin strips too, but I always cut into thin circles. Then, pressure cook in a small pressure cooker, with little water and salt for a whistle. Quick release the pressure.
2. Next, in a pan, heat oil and temper with the items given under ‘To temper’ table, followed by garlic.
3. Fry onion till transparent and add cooked baby corn, salt, ketchup, chilli powder, pepper powder.
4. Mix and stir in medium flame for 3 minutes. Lastly, drizzle little oil if needed.

Notes

• Adding half chilli powder and half pepper powder adds spiciness and flavor to the stir fry. So I recommend using chilli powder too for best results.
• You can add a dash of lemon juice towards end to balance the spice.
• You can skip onion in the recipe.

Serve as accompaniment for any rice – We had with Fried rice.
