Baby Corns with Lemon Sauce
Baby corns are God’s gift to the world. Sun-kissed and crispy, these mini vegetables have an array of health benefits, being rich in proteins and vitamins. Also known as candle corn, it especially helps you to stay fit, and during pregnancy too (as it is a good source of folic acid). This recipe makes use of the refreshing combination of baby corns with lemon sauce, resulting in a splash of yellow greatness.
Firstly, the baby corns are marinated with soy sauce and salt. Some cornflour is combined with a hint of lemon juice, which acts as the binding agent. The marinated baby corns are then dipped in this mixture and rolled in a bread crumbs and all-purpose flour mixture. They are subsequently deep-fried in a pan, which makes the baby corns crunchy. The excess oil can be drained out by using kitchen tissues.
For the accompanying sauce, corn starch is used as it is also a thickening agent. It is combined with some sugar (for sweetness), lemon juice and lemon zest to provide that citrusy kick. Here, yellow food colouring can be used too if wanted. Some heated oil is added to this sauce, which renders it clear.
The juicy lemon sauce is drizzled over the fried baby corns. This succulent baby corn dish can be served in the form of an appetizer.
