For me its a comfort food. Although I dont prefer deep fried food and try to avoid cooking them as much as possible, manchurian always managed to change my mind. Combined with my love for manchurian and little persuasion from my hubby(which was unnecessary;) I made Baby Corn Manchurian which I actually brought to make Baby Corn Masala... And it turned out just yummmyyyyyyyy....
Baby Corn Manchurian
Ingredients:
10-12 Baby Corns
3-4 tbsp Flour/maida
1 tbsp Cornflour
1 tsp Dry Red Chilli powder (Adjust acc to taste)
1 inch Ginger, chopped finely
3-4 flakes Garlic, chopped finely
3-4 spring onions, diced
1 small Green Capsicum/Bell pepper,diced
2-3 Green chillies, chopped (Adjust acc to taste)
3 tbsp Tomato Sauce/Ketchup
1 tbsp Soya Sauce
2 tbsp Coriander Leaves,finely chopped
Oil for deep frying
Salt to taste
Crisp 'n Crunchy Baby Corn Manchurian
Method:
In a pan take little oil and fry chopped garlic, chillies and ginger.
To this add Capsicum and saute it for 1-2 minutes.
Add Spring Onions, Coriander leaves,tomato sauce and soyasauce(if you want it to be more spicier add chilli sauce)
Cut Baby Corns length wise and keep aside.
Make a little thick batter with maida, cornflour, chilli powder, salt with water.
Coat the baby corn with the batter and then deep fry at medium flame till they turns golden brown.
Drain them in paper towel to remove excess oil.
Add the fried babycorns with the sauce you have prepared and mix well.
Garnish them with chopped coriander leaves and greens of spring onion and serve hot.
Baby Corn Manchurian
Final Verdict:
Baby Corn Manchurian turned out much better than my expectation. It was crisp, crunchy, saucy, spicy and delicious...Mama mia... Me n my hubby felt that we should have brought another pack of baby corns:( May be next time we will:)

Hello Sia,
I have tried the same recipe with 'ajinomoto' (added in pinch quantity), as someone said to me that the authentic taste of chinese dishes is due to this ingredient.
What do you personally recommend though ?
Hello Sia,
I have given this "baby corn manchurian" recipe a try with subtle differences. Someone told me to add a pinch of "Ajinomoto" to get the authentic chinese taste.
Also I did not read the usage of the maida/flour in the recipe.
Pls comment.
Thanks
Blossom
hi blossom,
sorry, i was away on holiday. just saw ur comment. yes, ajinomoto does add more flavour to chinese food. u can add a small pinch of ajinomoto to base sauce. but i have read somewhere that its not good for health. so i use it in moderation and not very often.
i have made changes to the recipe instruction. thanks for pointing it out. u add maida with cornflour to make a thick batter.
do try this sometime. mancurian is a fav dish with my family n i hope enjoy it as much as we do:)
Hey Supriya!

Hey Sia,
I visited this website very recently for the first time and was amazed at the number of recipes you have posted along with well taken photographs. I tried your Gobi Manchurian recipe over the weekend and it was a big hit! It was just perfect. My hubby and I enjoyed it so much!
-Ranjani
Hi, I tried your recipe for baby corn manchurian and it came out pretty good. I also added cauliflower to it. However, it wasn't crunchy - should it be?
@ranjani,
thanku ranjani for ur feedback. i really appreciate it:) do let me know if u try any other recipes from my blog and if u r a lover of indo-chinese food then i would recommend u to try veg balls in garlic sauce.
@smriti,
thank u smriti. manchurians served in hotels have little crunch to them. if u really like crunchy manchurians then i would recommend u to do these:
1. add little more of corn flour for teh dipping batter as corn flour gives crunchiness to the manchurians when fried.
2. add fried manchurians to base sauce just before serving.
hope these helps.
