Chilli baby corn is a snack or starter recipe of crispy & spicy pan-fried baby corn. A vegan dish.

This Indo Chinese recipe is a hit with many folks. I usually make chili baby corn as a side dish when I have an Indo Chinese menu at home. This chili baby corn recipe is a crisp version and a semi-dry dish. It has some moistness, hence I call it semi-dry. There is no gravy and the sauce coats the fried baby corn.
