Sweet corn pulao recipe with video and steps
I make Corn Pulao often atleast once a week for mittu alone as she loves sweet corn and this pulao is her favorite.Mittu loves any white pulao like veg pulao,peas pulao etc….You can even add methi,peas along with corn for this pulao.You can check out peas corn pulao that I had already posted.
I have had sweet corn pulao in a buffet once in a hotel here in CBE….but mittu said I love ammas pulao more and was hesitant to have it..Though I was a proud mother it was a pain to convince her to eat as that was the only dish of her kind in the whole buffet menu of 25 items…..see how fuzzy she is…just like her mother haha. Yes I was a very poor eater during my childhood days and sadly she has taken after me 🙁
Trust me I never admit myself as a good cook even when people say so seeing this space and tasting my preparations……but even the smallest appreciation from mittu makes me fly high and makes myself **beam with pride**……:)
Through the days I have adjusted corn pulao recipe to my taste and I have been hooked onto this one for a while now as its my family favourite…! It is perfect to pack for lunch box too so what are you waiting for make this easy, quick and tasty pulao and get ready for appreciations 🙂

To Temper :

Notes
- Make sure you soak the rice for atleast 15 mins....it will give nice fluffy, soft separated rice perfect for pulao / fried rice too.
- Adding mint leaves gives a great flavour.
You can even add 2 tsp cashew paste for a rich pulao. - Dont compromise on ghee and oil here else rice would turn sticky.
- I used fresh corn,you can use frozen corn kernels too.
- I use India Gate basmati rice...have tried all varieties in it and currently sticking to Tibar.
Cook in medium low flame to avoid burning at the bottom.
You can even temper the items using butter. - Just fluff it up carefully with a fork after opening without breaking the rice.
