About Baby corn masala
Baby corn masala is a rich gravy to pair up with roti, chapathi, pulao. It can be called as baby corn butter masala. Baby Corn is a crunchy and versatile vegetable that gets easily blended with any masala / gravy. I know this baby corn gravy would win hands down while the gravy was boiling itself as the lil one came running to me asking “amma enathu cooking supera vasanai varuthu”. And she loved the gravy that she was licking the plate and now I have started making this often.

- Add little water just till immersing level to pressure cook baby corn, reserve the water and add it to the gravy.
- I didn't add any food color, added kashmiri red chilli powder.
- The gravy cooked in milk gives it a slight sweet taste so adjust red chilli powder accordingly.
