Baby Corn Pepper Fry

Baby Corn is Chotu’s favourite veggie. He will be the first person to pick a pack of baby corn when we go shopping. Though he loves baby corn fingers, he liked this Baby Corn Pepper Fry too. I try and use pepper in most of my dishes, as it is essential for the cold weather in which we live. This baby corn pepper fry is an easy stir fry that goes well with roti or rice.
