Baby Corn Stew Recipe
This is a very healthy dish made up of stir fried vegetables and coconut milk. This is a Kerala style dish. It is a simple yet very tasty recipe. It can be served as a side dish with rice or appam. Normally, this dish is prepared with vegetables like beans, cauliflower, carrot and potato and green peas but here I have made it with baby corns, carrot, and potato.
