I have been bought up in a sleepy town in India and during those days (late eighties), I had barely heard of Baby corn, but then I learnt about this vegetable when I moved to metro city. A few people get confused these as corn grown on miniaturised corn plants, but Baby corn ( बेबी कॉर्न, young corn, cornlettes, baby sweetcorn, mini corn, or candle corn in Thai) is actually just regular corn that has been plucked before its matured. Mostly its used in stir fry dishes. I have tried to make baby corn satay, continue reading for step by step recipe.

Let’s understand some nutritional value of baby corn. Baby corn is low in calories, and has less carb when compared with normal corn. Baby corn has huge fibre contents, which is good for lowering risk of heart diseases and type 2 diabetes. A 1/2-cup serving offers 4 percent of the daily value for vitamin A and iron, and 2 percent of the daily value for vitamin C. All in all its a healthy vegetable.

Baby corn satay is simple recipe, which is simply marinating baby corn and then shallow frying on tava or pan. For those who like to use Oven can do so in oven too with no oil.
