Tandoori Baby Corn Recipe

Tandoori Baby Corn
We love tandoori dishes a lot and order it whenever we dine out in restaurants.My staple order would be Tandoori Roti / Butter Nan with any creamy gravy, and mostly it would be PB Masala for mittus sake and yes am done for the day.I feel incomplete without eating this combo when we go to restaurants :)

I have already tried Tandoori Gobi and mittu loves it so thought to try Tandoori Baby Corn as baby corn is her most favorite vegetable.I have given even the stove top version but I tell you it doesn't match with the oven taste.The smoky flavour which is the highlight of tandoori dishes will be missed when you do in stove top.
