Crispy baby corn fry that requires no deep frying...sound perfect right,yeah this is indeed a perfect recipe for you if you like crispy roasted veggies minus oil.We had this recipe in a restaurant and I really liked the way they served it. Marinated baby corns shallow fried until crisp,served with crushed kasuri methi and pepper powder,it was so tasty and light.In many places when we order for dry starter,they are little soggy with some kind of sauces or oil and not really dry,but these roasted baby corns were really dry and crispy from outside and the baby corns were perfectly cooked and soft from inside.I was kind of able to guess the ingredients,so I just tried it out last week and they were awesome.I did not use any chaat masala while marinating as I made this for side dish and not as a starter. If you are making as a starter,I have mentioned few flavor combinations in the notes,now over to recipe :)
