Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients: maida, corn flour, rice flour, sugar, black pepper powder, chilli powder, salt, baking soda, and chaat masala (if using). Mix well and gradually add water to create a thick but pourable batter.

Prepare the Baby Corn: Cut the baby corn into thin strips. Each strip should resemble small French fries for even cooking.

Coat the Baby Corn: Dip the cut baby corn strips into the prepared batter, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

Fry the Fritters: Heat oil in a kadai or deep pan. Once hot, carefully drop the coated baby corn strips into the oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.

Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the fritters and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with a sweet and spicy dip made from mixing tomato sauce, chilli flakes, sugar, and chilli powder.
