Baby Corn Kurma is a tasty, crunchy gravy made by cooking baby corn in a tomato based puree, spices and coconut milk. Baby Corn Kurma goes well with roti, chapatti and rice as well. Baby Corn Kurma is an alternate to the regular veggie gravies that you can surprise for dinner.
Baby Corn Kurma is a great sidedish for chapathi or any mild pulaos.I wanted to try Baby Corn Kurma with coconut milk replacing coconut while grinding and it turned out to be great so wanted to have a record of the recipe with measurements so here I am with this post.
Mittu loves baby corn so I try new recipes with it so that she doesn’t get bored of the veggie, She likes baby corn gravy and baby corn fry the best.This kurma is mild with the flavour of coconut milk that no one can say no to this kurma.Even amma who is not fond of baby corn loved the kurma and she couldnt resist that she even tasted the kurma when it was still boiling.

Hello Sharmilee Ji, i m the biggest fan of your recipes. Tonight i m going to try the above recipe for dinner. Can u pls tell me, 1)Do i need to slightly fry the baby corns before adding to the gravy? 2) Can i cook the baby corns separately in some water? 3) Can i use fresh cream and if yes, then at which step?
SHARMILEE J
1.Yes if you prefer you can do that
2.It is not needed but you can do…but I prefer cooking in gravy so that the flavours nicely blend with the veggie
3.Add it along with milk or just before adding milk
Hope this clarifies!
