Corn Pulao/Pulav tastes great and easy to prepare requiring fewer vegetables. You can prepare Corn Pulao/Pulav for lunch or as a breakfast dish as well.
Corn Pulao/Pulav
- Rice – 1 cup
- American Corn – 2 cups
- Onion – 1 big sized
- Pulao/Pulav leaves or Tej Patta or Bay Leaves – 1 big sized
- Oil + Ghee – 2 Tbsp

- Tomato – 1 small sized
- Cashew Nuts – 7-8

- Garlic cloves – 2
- Garam Masala – 1 tsp
- Cloves or Lavang – 2
- Cinnamon or Dalchini – 1/4 inch
How to Prepare:
1) Wash Rice with water. Pour out the water completely – rice should stay as dry as possible. Wash American Corn once with water.
Chop the Onions lengthwise. Keep aside.
Crush or pound Cinnamon or Dalchini; have it ready.
2) Transfer all the Pulav Paste ingredients listed above to a mixer jar. Grind well (without adding water) in the mixer grinder to obtain smooth paste. Keep aside.
3) Heat Oil in a cooker container. Add Onion and fry until the Onions look slightly transparent. Now add crushed Dalchini powder, Pulao Leaves and fry for a min.
4) Add ground paste and fry in the cooker container with above ingredients till the water content disappears.
5) Add washed Rice from step 1 and fry until the Rice turns a bit thick. Now add 2 cups of water to the cooker and stir for a min. Add Corn and Salt and close the pressure cooker lid and allow the contents to cook.
6) When you hear the 3 cooker whistles, switch to low flame and continue to heat for about 2 minutes. Then switch off the flame and allow the pressure of the cooker to ease.
Now Corn Pulao/Pulav is ready to serve.

Hi Hema.
I tried Corn rice for the first time, instead of corn i added Avarekkai. My husband loved the food very much. He kept on appreciating me. He said my dish was outstanding.
I thanx you for this appreciation. You made my day!!
Cheers

Wow – nice idea and happy to hear that it worked so well for you. Avarekkai is my favorite too. I use them often for Upma/Uppittu. Will try out your idea of “Avarekkai Rice” sometime. Continue to have great time cooking! – Hema
Hy,
i tried the Corn Pulao n it came out really well.. some times we get so bored with the same type of food habits n do not want to try something strange or new but when we are familiar with all the ingredients used in any recipe n its always available in the kitchen, it is more easy to go for it. Corn Pulao is easy, quick n filling. It also looks very tempting once cooked. I m going to try some more recipes from your basket.
Truly genuine, changed my opinion completely, never expected something sweet to blend with spicy pulav so well.
