Baby Corn Masala Curry, Restaurant Style

 Baby Corn Masala Curry.

Baby Corn Masala is a restaurant style creamy and lightly spiced curry. A very easy curry which you can make in about 20 minutes.

My sister in law, Dainey lives in Vizag; Andhra Pradesh and when my mother in law visited them sometime back, she tasted this curry at a friends place and at my request got me a vague idea of the curry. After making it three or four times, I perfected the recipe and thought I must share with you as I fell in love with this rich and creamy curry.

This curry is so easy to make that you will never order a baby corn masala from a restaurant. Here, baby corn is the star, to get that authentic taste it was advised not to add matar or paneer to the curry, though I am thinking of adding paneer when I make next time.

This is a subtle curry and not much masala is added and not at all spicy and so very easy to make....bachelors are you listening??

Onion and tomatoes are sauted and chilly and turmeric powder is added and lastly baby corn is simmered in cream and milk......resulting in a very rich and creamy gravy.

Hope this picture does justice to this luscious gravy.

Restaurant Style Baby Corn Masala Curry.

So, lets bring home restaurant style baby corn masala.


Recipe: nisahomey.com
Serves: 4
Method:
I used 1/2 kg baby corn which when peeled and cleaned weighed 250 gms, two onions, and two tomatoes.


Heat a pan or kadai with 2 tbsp oil (you can add 1 more tbsp; if you prefer) I try to keep the oil as minimum as possible.

Dunk in the chopped onions and put the flame on high for a minute so that the onions get nicely coated with oil.

Add in salt and stir well, simmer the fire and occasionally give the onions a stir, let it simmer for 3 minutes.

Add in 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste and you can see that the onions have started to brown. Once ginger garlic paste is added keep stirring on and off as it might stick to the pan.

Once the onions browned lightly, add in the chopped tomatoes, remember the fire is on low.

Stir well for a minute. Add in the turmeric powder.

And the Kashmiri Red Chilli powder (if using ordinary chilli powder, reduce by half). Psst! can you see the oil coming out.

Mix well, and allow it to simmer for a minute....or until the oil starts to come out and tomatoes are cooked and incorporated. (If you do not worry about adding oil as much as I do, you can add a total of 3 tbsp oil, since I started with 2 tbsp, I kept the fire on low and kept stirring on and off)

Add in the milk and the cream (I mixed them together).

Mix well and add in the baby corns, I used very tender ones and sliced like this; though you can slice it thinly as it will help in cooking faster. You can also add the baby corns once it is steamed or cooked, but I prefer this way as these baby corns were very tender.
Cover and cook the baby corns until done.

Once done sprinkle coriander leaves. You can see that the gravy is creamy and thick. If you want to thin a bit you can add in a dash of milk or cream.
I served with bhatura, though roti or tandoori roti is also perfect to go with this curry and my kids totally enjoyed it.

NOTES

  • The first time, I made this curry I wondered whether cooking the baby corns in the cream and milk will make it curdle. It did not curdle to my surprise, but it became thick after 4 to 5 minutes of simmer. I did add in a bit of milk to thin out. Once it cools down also it can become a bit thick.....use cream or milk to thin
  • Since I used less oil, I made the whole curry in low-medium heat.
  • A word about baby corn; you can either steam or cook it before adding to the gravy. Since I used very tender one; I was sure it will cook fast though simmering it in the gravy until it is cooked did make the gravy thicker and I had to thin out with milk and a dash of cream. And I would definitely steam it before adding if the corns were not so tender and fresh.

Pidiyum Kozhiyum Recipe - How To Make Kerala Style Kozhi Pidi - Kerala Recipes

Pidiyum kozhiyum or kottayam style pidi is a traditional knanaya cuisine ; these rice dumpling have a thick gravy like sauce, unlike the dry versions of Malabar kakka roti or kozhi pidi. Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions. My main aim is to preserve this recipe; so that the future generations can enjoy this wholesome dish. Pidi is rice dumplings which is simmered in water along with shallots, garlic, curry leaves, and coriander seeds; but I have used coriander powder instead to make the whole process easy. Amma mentioned that if using coriander seeds then; the water used to mix the rice flour should be sieved and that using fresh roasted coriander powder saves time. I have made a video recipe and I hope this you help
