Crispy Chili Baby Corn

Last time i invited my friend Deepti and her family to dinner. I made them Crispy chili baby corn and her hubby really loved it. Since then Deepti has been asking me the recipe.

So note down the recipe

  enough to cling to the baby corns

• Dip the baby corn in the batter one by one and fry
• Repeat the process with all the baby corns and keep them aside.
