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 teaspoon 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.
