Sweet corn pulao

 Sweet corn pulao is one of the tasty pulao recipe which is very easy to prepare and perfect for lunch box and parties. I made it healthy by adding veggies like carrot and beans. You can also add peas in this pulao or simply you can skip adding veggies. Who d't like pulao's and biryani's ?? kabuli chana pulaoHyderabd dum biryani are my favorite rice items. I made this sweet corn pulao bit spicy by adding freshly prepared masala mix, as corn taste sweet. And I prepared this pulao in electric cooker which I recently purchased, pulao came out very tasty with perfect texture.  We can pair this corn pulao with raita like pomegranate raita or simple cucumber onion raita. We can also have it with kabuli chana curry , Kaddu ka dalcha or with any paneer gravies.

Tips

** If you are using basmati rice, for eg 1 glass of basmati rice then use 1&1/2 glass of water for cooking and d't forgot to soak it for 30 min.

** If you are cooking in pressure cooker, pressure cook it for 3 whistles for normal rice.

** As we are using green chilli and pepper corn paste, pulao tastes spicy so add biryani masala powder accordingly or skip adding pepper corn.

** You can skip adding veggies.
