I have been wanting to try a dish baby corn for a long time now. I also had paneer at home. So, thought of trying this dish which can be had as a side dish for rice, rotis, naan, paratha, etc. Here is the recipe for it.
Ingredients:
- Baby corn - 1/2 cup (cut lengthwise)
- Paneer (Indian cottage cheese) - 1 cup (diced)
- Spring onions - 1 cup
- Finely chopped spring onion greens - 1/2 cup (for garnishing)
- Thinly sliced bell Peppers (Capsicum) - 1cup (green, red, yellow)
- Thinly sliced tomatoes - 1/2 cup
- Oil - 3 tsp
- Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
- Coriander pwd - 1/4 tsp
- Red Chilli pwd - 1/2 tsp
- Cumin pwd - 1/2 tsp
- Garam Masala - 1/4 tsp
- Tomato puree - 2 tsp
- Tomato ketchup- 2 tsp
- Sugar - 1/2 tsp
- Salt - to taste
- Vinegar - 1/2 tsp
- Water - 1/4 cup
Preparation:
- Heat oil in a pan on a medium flame and add the spring onions. Sauté until the onions are nicely cooked.
- Add the bell peppers and sauté until they are soft. In the mean time, add the baby corn, the spices like turmeric, chilli powder, coriander and cumin powders and mix well along with tomato puree and ketchup. Keep stirring until all the ingredients are mixed well.
- Now add the paneer, garam masala, vinegar, sugar and salt and keep stirring.
- Add a few spring onion greens and a little water so that the ingredients get cooked evenly on a low flame.
- Remove from flame and add some more spring onions.

ReplyDeleteHey Sriram, You can replace Paneer with tofu as both have the same taste. Tofu is made out of soya milk. But before you do it check for soy allergy. In the mean time, I shall try to post some dishes with tofu.. Thanks for the comment btw :)
