Baby corn though not high in protein, is considered a healthy vegetable due to low carbs, high in fiber, good amount of vitamins a, c, iron and zero fat.

Baby corn stir fry is a semi dry curry / sabzi that is prepared using onions, tomatoes and capsicum. You can plus or minus the ingredients to the recipe easily to suit your taste.You can even add kasuri methi, pepper powder or amchur to make it flavorful.

Some of the best combos I would suggest with baby corn are green peas, drumstick leaves, methi leaves or potatoes. However my choice is most times the capsicum, as they lend a unique flavour to the baby corn.
