INGREDIENTSFor baby corn marination
10-15 baby corns
2 tbsp pizza sauce
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp dry parsley (optional)
1/2 tsp chili flakes
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1 tsp soya sauce
1 tsp vinegar
little bit of salt
FOR OUTER FILLING
3-4 boiled potatoes
salt and chili to taste
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1 tbsp coriander leaves
2-3 tbsp cornflour
Baby corn is high in potassium and folic acid. Corn is filled with fibre that is a huge boon for digestion. It prevents constipation, hemorrhoids and even lowers the risk of colon cancer considerably.
I have added Chinese and Italian spices and herbs in this recipe by adding soya sauce and vinegar on the one hand and oregano and parsley on the other hand.
Outer covering needs to be done with potato for better texture and binding.
I have added cornflour in the potato mix, if you wish you can make potato mix without cornflour and then dip in cornflour batter and coat with bread crumbs. Either way will give good results.
Coating potato mix breadcrumb is important or the bullet will break while deep frying.
It's perfect evening snack for kids or you can serve it in party.
I hope your kids and family will like it as mine.
