BABYCORN PUDHINA
There are many dishes one can make with babycorn, which must rate as one of the most popular ingredients in many homes. Elsewhere in this blog, you will find recipes for Babycorn Masala, Spicy Babycorn Satay, and Palak Babycorn Subzi, amongst others. All three use babycorn but are quite different from each other.
Today's recipe is an interesting starter called Babycorn Pudhina, adapted from the recipe of the same name by ace cookery expert, Tarlaji Dalal. The flavour of mint sets this dish apart from many other starters. It is easy to make and is best served with tooth picks or cocktail forks. The touch of lime enhances the taste of the starter.
