This recipe is for those food lovers who want to eat dry veg Manchurian without worrying about the number on the weighing scale. I tried to make baby corn Manchurian without frying, not even stir frying. I used microwave oven to make this dry Manchurian recipe and it turned out very well. I have tried to reduce lots of calories from the original fried Manchurian recipe but there is absolutely no change in its taste.

It is easy to make baby corn snacks with very less efforts.  You can make this recipe with or without ajinomotto; personally I don’t prefer ajinomoto in any of my Chinese recipes. It hasn’t been proven scientifically but it is said that ajinomotto has lots of side effects . Well during pregnancy and for kids it’s better to avoid ajinomoto .
