Crispy chilli baby corn without frying
For diet conscious people, a healthy version of baby corn can be made without frying the baby corn .I sometimes prefer to air fry them or bake them after dipping in batter for a lighter but still satisfying experience. Choosing this method will restrict oil content but still retain the crispiness of baby corn and make you enjoy a guilt free snack.
Other than that you can also consider shallow frying the baby corn.
Restaurants style honey chilli baby corn
Restaurants also serve honey chilli baby corn like honey chilli potatoes. In this recipe here I have not added honey.Addition of honey adds little subtle sweetness to compliment the spiciness of the sauce. It totally depends on the personal choice of the individual to go with or without honey.
