Steps to make Baby corn Masala

  1. Cut 500 grams of baby corn and keep aside
  2. You need to cut 4 ripe red tomatoes, remove the tips and cut them into chunks
  3. Next you need to roughly chop 3 medium sized onions
  4. In a mixer jar add handfuls of the tomato and onion at a time, do not over load it. 
  5. Since I usually don’t cook with garlic, I have used a teaspoon of ginger paste
  6. Add a splash of water
  7. Mix using a mixer till no chunks remain
  8. I have added this 4 times in the mixer to get this quantity, add a splash of water after adding the ingredients
  9. Transfer to the kadai or pot that you are going to cook the curry in
  10. In a kadai or pot add 4 tablespoons of oil, after it is hot add the cut baby corn
  11. Add salt to let the water come out and stir 
  12. Add 1/4 teaspoon turmeric to give it a better yellow colour and stir again
  13. Next add 1 teaspoon of sugar to keep the colour and balance the taste and mix again
  14. Stir fry it till it starts to turn brown, do not let it burn, remove and keep aside
  15. Turn the flame or heat on and add the kadai or pot with the tomato, ginger, onion puree
  16. Add 4 tablespoons of oil to this and mix, cover it with the lid
  17. Next add salt per taste, mix and keep the flame in high and cover it with the lid
  18. This helps in cooking it faster, let it cook for around 2 minutes
  19. Add half a teaspoon of Kashmiri red chilli powder and mix, cover and let it simmer for a while
  20. Add 1 tablespoon of garam masala and mix again
  21. Add 1/2 a teaspoon of Aamchur or Raw Mango Powder and mix
  22. Next add 2 tablespoons of Kasuri Methi or Dried Fenugreek Leaves and mix again
  23. Add the stir fried baby corn and mix
  24. Cover with lid and let it simmer
  25. Add a handful of freshly cut coriander or cilantro and stir
  26. Cover it with the lid and let it simmer for 5 minutes 
  27. Taste a little bit and see if the salt is enough , I added a little more
  28. Add the remainder fresh coriander or cilantro and turn the heat off
  29. The Baby Corn Masala is ready
  30. I had it with Roti, it goes really well with Rice and Pulao too
