BABY CORN MASALA (MICROWAVED)

BABY CORN MASALA (MICROWAVED)

This is a simple recipe yet it turned out to be fantastic. The use of red and yellow capsicum ( I have not added green) adds to the visual appeal of the dish. One feature which I relished in this dish was the crunchiness of the baby corn.

This recipe is from Tarla Dalal, whom every Indian woman interested in cooking admired.
