BABY CORN KURMA| SIDE DISH FOR CHAPATI

Baby corn , whether i make baby corn masala or baby corn puloa or baby corn kurma we all love it very much. Though i have tried  baby corn kurma few times at home, never had a chance to click it but last week i made a bit early and clicked the kurma for the sake of blogging. Though kurmas are not the favorite dish among my kids but this baby corn kurma was appreciated by everyone and kids liked this too. Do you have baby corn lying down in the refrigerator just go ahead to make this baby corn kurma. Even this kurma can be served with VEGETABLE BIRYANI
