Hey, I relly loved this dish... Can u please tell me how can I get baby corn? Is it available in a grocery shop?
Response: Hello Zoya, you can get fresh baby corns in the fresh produce/ vegetables section of store in India. In USA, it's hard to find fresh baby corns. If fresh baby corns are not available, use the canned baby corns instead of it, which are easily available in the grocery stores.

Hello, thank you for recipe. Please, could you tell me what is Maida? I am from Europe and never heard about it, but I would like to try this recipe. Thanks a lot. Imelda
Response: Hi Imelda, maida means all purpose flour (white flour).

Very delicious, thank you food viva.
In the absence of maida, can we add wheat flour?
Response: Yes, you can add wheat flour.

I prepared the dish as per the recipe. But the dish turned out blackish not reddish and the taste wasn't absorbed by the babycorn. What was the reason? Also is there a way to cook the dish without the artificial flavour of the sauce.
Response: Thank you Shaila for trying the recipe. The color depends on the sauces, if you add more soy sauce or less tomato ketchup, manchurian will turn darker. Don't forget to add salt in step-2 (add little bit more salt) so the baby corn tastes batter. You cannot cook the manchurian without adding sauces.

Should we boil the baby corn?
