Baby Corn Pakoda or baby corn fritters recipe – a quick and easy Indian snack using baby corns. In this recipe baby corns are coated with a chickpea flour ( besan ) batter and then deep fried.
Pakoras are an all-time favorite snack of mine as it is so easy to prepare and tastes delicious with a hot cup of tea or coffee – a perfect snack for the monsoons.
This is also one snack you can prepare when you have just chickpea flour and looking for a quick snack option.
I usually prepare onion pakoras that even go well as a side dish for rice. I usually don’t use baby corn much in my cooking. So this time when I got a pack of tender baby corns, I ended up making these baby corn pakodas.
With just a few spices along with the chickpea flour, the sweetness of the baby corns and the spices make for an interesting combination in these pakoras and they tasted delicious. Kids too will love this crunchy snack. The baby corns have to be boiled in water first and then dipped in the besan batter and deep fried in batches. If you are planning on some snack with baby corn do try this simple baby corn pakoda.
