Corn and Vegetable Lollipop

Corn And Vegetable Lollipop is a super hit starter. Made from simple ingredients and baby corn cobs, this dish is liked by all as the look is also very attractive. I am a great fan of Air Fryer but today I have deep fried them. You can bake them or air fry them also for a healthier version.

I use to make these lollipops with ice cream sticks but now I make with baby corn cobs. I had eaten like this at my friend Priya’s place. She is a good cook who loves to experiment.

• Dust the top with flour and coat lightly the remaining part of the baby corn with the corn flour paste.

Note: Coating of the baby corn stem is done to flavor it and also to prevent the baby corn from becoming dark while frying.
