Before you start
- Baby corn holds water. Blanch it and dry it properly or the batter slides off.
- The batter should coat like thin cream. Thick batter gives a doughy shell.
Method
- Blanch the baby corn 2 minutes in salted water, drain and dry thoroughly on a cloth.
- Whisk the cornflour, maida, salt and enough cold water into a thin batter. Coat the corn.
- Deep fry on medium-high until crisp and pale gold, 4 minutes. Drain.
- In 3 tbsp oil, fry the garlic and green chilli hard for 30 seconds, then the onion and capsicum for 2 minutes.
- Add the soy sauce, vinegar, chilli powder, pepper and a splash of water. Boil 1 minute.
- Toss in the corn, coat, and finish with spring onion.
