Corn Pulao

Working from home and I had to make a quick lunch!! This corn pulao was just perfect!! We ate it with some leftover prawn curry..Best lunch ever! Give it a shot people...you won't regret it! Its an easy dish to make when you don't want to labor over a biryani but plain rice is too boring :)

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups basmati rice
3 1/2 cups water, washed
1 cup sweet corn kernels
1 bay leaf
2 cloves
2 cardamom pods
3 green chillies, sliced length wise
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon oil

Method:

1.Bring the water to a boil in a big pan.
2. Heat the oil and add the bay leaf, cloves and cardamom. This is the main seasoning for the dish.
3. When you start to get the aroma of the spices, add this oil/spice seasoning to the water. Let the oil cool down, you don't wanna burn yourself when you add it to the water!
4. Add the washed rice, corn, salt and split green chillies.
5. Let this boil until the water is almost completely absorbed and you start to see little bubbles form in the rice.
6. Shut the pan and simmer for 5 minutes before you take this off the heat.

Your yummy corn pulao is ready!

Alternatively, you can make this in an electric rice cooker. Just add all the ingredients (prepare the oil/spice seasoning separately) in a regular rice cooker and let it do all the work!
