Corn Pulav

Few days back I was searching for some pulav options where I got to know about this sweet corn pulav. As corn is something that all three of us like to eat so I thought to give it a try yesterday for our dinner. It is a easy and quick flavourful recipe , a delicious indian recipe served as main course. I made makhni paneer as side dish with the pulav, a nice combination altogether and we all loved it.

Ingredients:

For the masala:

Onion: 1 medium sized
Garlic: 4-5 cloves
Ginger: one small portion
Cashew nuts: 5-6 soaked in water for 10-15 mins
Black pepper corns: 7-8 number
Cinnamon: 1 stick
Cloves & cardamom  : 2-3 of each


Other ingredients:
Basmati rice /or any other rice with nice aroma: 1 1/2 cups
Sweet corn: 1 cup
Milk: 1/2 cup
Water: 1 cup
Green chillies: 1 or 2
Salt to taste
Mint and coriander leaves: handful
Bay leaves: 1 or2
Cardamom: 2-3
Oil: 2 tbsp.

Method:

Soak the rice in water for about an hour or so.

Make a smooth paste out of the ingredients mentioned under ingredients for the masala.

I cooked the pulav in pressure cooker. If you wish you can make it in handi as well.

Heat oil in the pressure cooker. Add bay leaves, cardamom, chilli and let it splutter. Now add the masala paste and stir fry. Add the corn and mix everything well and fry for about a minute or so. Add the milk , keep stirring for another minute or two and bring it to boil. Add rice, salt, coriander and mint leaves , combine all well and add water. Give it a nice stir and pressure cook upto 2 whistles.

Once done, let the pressure gets release on its own. Transfer the pulav to a serving dish and serve hot with any side dish you wish to enjoy with this delicious pulav.
