Expert Tips
- Soaking rice helps in cooking faster and gives a nice fluffy texture.
- I used my ultra pressure pan to cook.You ca use nonstick pan or any heavy bottomed pan.
- Take care to add the spice powders only after the raw smell of onion gg paste leaves.
- This rice is very mild and less spicy.You can play with spice as you prefer.
- If you are making it for kids then add the tempering spices(except jeera) while cooking rice, once cooked discard the spices.
- You can use frozen corn too, I used fresh corn here.
- You can also make this with leftover rice.

Hi Sharmiss,
I must say you are really a good cook. Even a simple dish did not loose colour and texture, for example this rice doesn't look pressure-cooked and capsicum has crisp texture. I feel like eating a lunch at your home. 😉
Happy blogging!
