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.
