Babycorn Stir-fry



What would you do if you are hit with a sudden craving to have something?And moreover,if you are on a so-called diet and can only dream of having such things??Sigh..same story,different post.If it was before starting the diet,I would have picked up the phone and ordered made some Baby Corn Manchurian and relished it all by myself since Ajay is not a big fan of the same.But it was not to be.

I tried to find solace in digestive biscuits and tea but the craving was staring at me right across my face and I seriously had to do something.I did the next best thing-made a low-fat version of the same.I have tried No-fry Gobi Manchurian before and loved it,but I was in no mood for the laborious process,I was hit with a craving,remember?


I wanted it and wanted it quick.Perfect for the craving and tastes almost like the yummy counterpart Manchurian.Craving satisfied-Mission accomplished!!
