Both corn and baby corn are one of my most favorite ingredients to work with. I keep trying a lot of recipes with these. And here’s one such recipe of a Goan-style Baby Corn Sabji, which is a quick and tasty vegan dish made with baby corn, capsicum, onion, green chilies and spices. This Baby Corn Sabzi has minimal ingredients, yet makes for a delicious main course or side dish with Indian flatbreads like roti or chapati and dal-rice.

About Baby Corn Sabji
In the sun-drenched kitchens of Goa, where every dish is a vibrant celebration of flavors, this Baby Corn Sabji stands out as a tantalizing blend of spices with the sweetness of baby corn, capturing the essence of coastal cuisine in every bite.
Start with fresh, tender baby corn, their natural sweetness a perfect canvas for the bold flavors to come. In a hot pan, a medley of thinly sliced onions, green chilies and capsicum sizzles in oil, filling the air with a mouthwatering aroma.
As they turn golden, earthy spice powders are added, to create a rich, savory base in this Baby Corn Sabzi.
The magic of Goan cuisine lies in its spices, and this Baby Corn Sabzi is no exception. A vibrant mix of turmeric powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, crushed black pepper and a touch of garam masala powder infuses the dish with warmth and depth. Thus, making the dish slightly spicy.
More On The Recipe
This baby corn dish is a slow cooked sautéed preparation. There is no water added while cooking the baby corn. You only need to sauté it on a low heat together with the remaining ingredients.
Since this sautéing takes some time, I suggest to use a thick bottomed and heavy pan, to avoid the risk of the ingredients getting burnt.
I prepare this Baby Corn Sabzi, the way I make the Goan Mushroom Fry. My recipe has capsicum (green bell pepper) in it. Even red or yellow bell pepper can be added. Another baby corn dish in this genre is this quick Baby Corn Fry.
Finally, a generous sprinkle of freshly chopped coriander leaves is what brings in the desired freshness in the dish, brightening the flavors.
Served hot, this Goan-style Baby Corn Sabji is a vibrant, flavorful dish that pairs perfectly with steamed rice or warm roti, inviting you to savor the bold and aromatic flavors of Goa with every bite. It can also be packed in the tiffin box.
