How to make chilli garlic baby corn?
First, boil the baby corn for 4 - 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool down to room temperature. Then remove it from the water & let it air dry.
Mix refined flour, cornstarch, a pinch of salt, red chili sauce, and ginger garlic paste. Add a little water to make a batter of medium-thick (for coating) consistency.
Take parboiled baby corn and dip it in the coating mixture. Take out coated corn and shallow fry them in hot oil. Fry them till they are nicely golden and crispy. Remove and place on a paper napkin to get rid of excess oil.
Heat oil in a pan. Add finely chopped garlic, ginger, green chillies, and onion, and onion greens, and saute till translucent. Add fried baby corn and mix well.
Then add soy sauce, red chili sauce, schezwan sauce, and vinegar. Give them a nice toss. Add 1/4 cup water making a spicy sauce and simmer the baby corn for 2 - 4 minutes.
Prepare a (slurry) mixture of water & cornstarch (flowing consistency).
