Simple corn pulao

Corn ! An ingredient that looks like sunshine, tastes of goodness and adds that bit of sparkle to whatever it’s put into…there are very few people I know,who have a distaste for corn and thank goodness for that because I love cooking with it and many a time has been my go to ingredient to make a simple veggie meal that extra bit special…and it’s the colour of a LEMON!!

Now,this particular rice is very simple but full of flavour,it tastes good made with either brown rice or basmati ! It’s a great lunch box dish…goes very well with a mildly spiced raitha or can be eaten on it’s own and the flavours are so simple that you can add any other veg with it like peas,bell peppers,mushroom,broccoli…just gets healthier and healthier doesn’t it…very quick,so perfect for rushed mornings too !

The kind of rice you choose entirely depends on your dietary preferences…if you like a bit of texture and prefer carbs with a lower glycemic index,then you should try this recipe with the brown rice…you can also add a bit of toasted slivered almonds for crunch !

If like many homes,white rice is the general preference,that’s an option too…it’s a simple dish that can be happily added on to any menu whether simple or elaborate,the clean fresh flavours of this dish are so good because it can be accompanied by a cool raitha or can even stand up to a spicy gravy or masala side dish.
I think every menu should consist of one such simple a dish that is palatable to people of all ages !
