Baby corn recipes

Baby Corn Masala: I was having 2 packets of babycorn lying in my fridge. Since that day was a Chinese New Year and all our family members were at home. So thought of trying something special for every one and tried this vegetable pulao and prepared the Babycorn Masala as the side dish. Everybody loved both the dishes. Let's see the preparation of Babycorn Masala and in my next post, will see the vegetable pulao recipe.

Notes:
1. Adding ghee is purely optional. But I feel, it enhances the taste.
2. Adding cream, gives richer taste. At the time of preparation, I do not have cream in hand and so added the milk.
3. Water can be adjusted according your required consistency.
