Instructions
  1. Boil the baby corn till they are very sort but still has a crunch in it. I pressure cooked them till two whistles. Cut the baby corns in cross-section of about half inch thickness.
  2. Drain the tofu and cut them into small cubes, approximately half inch cubes. Put them in boiling water under medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. Make a smooth paste of the onions. Chop the tomato into small pieces.
  4. Heat the oil in a wok/skillet. Temper the oil with cardamom, cloves and cinnamon and sauté them for couple of minutes.
  5. Add the onion paste and ginger paste. Sauté them till they are dark brown and oil starts separating from them. Add the chopped tomato and fry till it is soft and melted.
  6. Add the boiled baby corn and tofu pieces. Sauté them for a while.
  7. Take a small bowl and make a smooth paste of turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder and red chilli powder by adding little amount of water.
  8. Tip in this spice paste to the wok and sauté on high heat for couple of minutes.
  9. Add water, around 1 cup, sugar and salt to taste. Bring to boil. Keep in mind that both baby corn and tofu are already boiled. So the quantity of water should be as much as your desired consistency of the gravy/sauce.
  10. When the sauce thickens, remove from heat. Add garam masala powder and mix well.
  11. Serve with hot rice or phulka [Inidan wheat bread].
