Baby Corn Fingures

About 6-7 years back a chain of restaurants were launched in Pune called Corn Club. It served dishes made of corn. The chain was very popular then. One of the outlets is still working I guess. All others were eventually closed down. It was the time when American sweet corn was a rarity in Pune. And baby corns were not so frequently seen in the market. Now we get all these and many other so called foreign vegetables like colored capsicums, mushrooms, broccoli, etc. in the Mandai as well.
Corn clubs used to serve many novel dishes like corn kabab, corn patties, corn pizza along with usual corn bhel and corn on cob. They also used to sell corn oil and corn seeds for growing sweet corns at home. Read More about them here: http://www.cornclub.com/
Once we ordered Baby Corn Fingures in one of these Corn Club outlets. We really liked them and thought if only we could get hold of baby corns we can make them at home. In time we tried making them and with success.

Here is my recipe:
10 Baby corns
½ Cup Corn flour
2 table spoons Besan
Salt
2 Green chilies (crushed)
Oil for frying

Heat oil in a kadhai. Cut the baby corns lengthwise into 2 or 4 sections depending on their width. Mix Corn flour and Besan, add salt and crushed chilies. Make a batter using water. Dip a section of a corn in the batter deep fry in oil.
Serve with ketchup.
