Method:

• Wash the baby corn thoroughly, trim the edges off, and cut them in small circles. Set aside.
• Dry roast the peppercorn and fennel seeds for 3 minutes or until you get a nice roasted aroma. Cool, grind it coarsely, and set aside.
• Heat oil in a nonstick pan, add cumin and curry leaves. Let the cumin start popping.
• Add the ginger garlic paste and sauté for a minute. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent. Now add the peppercorn and fennel mixture.
• Add the chopped capsicum, salt, and sauté for 2 minutes.
