This Chilli Garlic Baby Corn is perfect as an appetizer, finger food, side dish or to impress guests at your party. Honestly, whenever or wherever you’re serving it, I can vouch for the fact that it will not stay on the table for long. It’s too damn tasty! For this recipe, I am using baby corn as a preferred veggie, but the best part is that you are free to replace it with cauliflower, sweet corn, or potatoes.
Moreover, Chilli Garlic Baby Corn’s recipe is really easy to make and doesn’t take a lot of time either. First, you just have to coat it in a batter and fry baby corn to make them really crispy. Then, prepare an awesome fiery, garlicky sauce and toss the crispy baby corn in it. Just sprinkle some sesame seeds on top and tada! you are in for a treat.
