Babycorn-Capsicum Curry

Babycorn is my favorite vegetable. Dont ask me why !! lots of times there are no reasons for liking or disliking specific vegetables. On a different note, quite sadly this vegetable was not available at our place during my childhood.I used to relish this vegetable especially during my trips to Bangalore during schooldays. This continued later as well when I was working at Bangalore and I used to land up in food world on friday evenings for my shopping. Babycorn,strawberries and different types of bread used to be the typical fare on my shopping menu. My cousins used to tease me a lot for this as anyone visiting our house would have atleast once tasted "babycorn sabzi" that I used to prepare. Babycorn manchurian is probably the best picks for me amongst the other variations of babycorn that i have tried. It is easy and quick to make and invariable comes out quite well.

I am sending this to "WYF-side dish" event hosted by EasyCrafts.
