Baby corn masala recipe – A simple restaurant style baby corn recipe that pairs well with rice, pulao, biryani, roti. For this baby corn curry recipe, I just followed my paneer butter masala, one of the popular recipes on this blog. Baby corn can be used to make fried rice, baby corn fry, baby corn dry curry, mixed veg curry or veg makhanwala, can also be added to veg pulao or veg biryani.
To make baby corn masala recipe, I like to use baby corn along with other vegetables like peas, carrots, capsicums, or even with potatoes to add more flavor and taste. However it is a personal choice, this recipe can be made using only baby corn and no other vegetables except onions and tomatoes.
If you want to make a quick baby corn curry, you need not blend the ingredients. If all that you want to make is a north Indian style baby corn gravy, you will have to blend the sauted ingredients to get a gravy. To get a restaurant style smooth gravy, don’t miss using few cashews, blending it, adding kasuri methi and cream will enhance the flavor, texture and taste.
How to make baby corn masala or baby corn gravy curry
1. Heat oil in the pan, add cumin and allow to splutter. Add ginger garlic or ginger paste and fry until the raw smell goes off.
2. Add onions and fry until golden.
3. Fry tomatoes with salt until mushy.
4. Add spice powders and cashews.
5. Saute and fry until the masala smells good. Cool this mixture and blend with little water.
6. Add little more oil, add the dry spices. Saute till aromatic.
7. Add baby corn. i also added potatoes, you can add peas or any other veggies you like. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes. Add half cup water and cook till they are almost cooked. Add the ground paste.
8. Stir and add more water as needed to make a thick gravy. Check spice and salt. Add more if needed.
9. Cover and cook till the corn is cooked fully. You can add a bit more of chili powder at this stage to get the right color.

What is the meaning of ground paste
swasthi says
Hi Anand
Ground paste is the paste made of onions, tomatoes etc which we sauted in the pan. At step 5 I have told to make a fine paste of onions, tomatoes etc. That one I am refering as ground paste.

Swapna says
Swathi,ur recipe seems delicious. Good explained. Thanks. Is there any idea or trick to make gravy red in colour?? Please let me know.
swasthi says
Hi Swapna,
using kashmiri or byadgi chili powder gives a nice deep color to the gravy. I use fresh chili powder that is refrigerated. I take small quantities from refrigerator and use. Resting the curry covered for a while after cooking also deepens the color of the gravy.Hope this helps
