A wide assortment of ingredients are used in making this dish, and so, it is obvious that this dish is packed with different flavors, which you are going to experience in every single bite. Today, we will be discussing a lesser known ‘Pulao Recipe’, i.e., ‘Corn Pulao’. Though corn has been used as one of the ingredients in many pulao recipes, but in ‘Corn Pulao’, it will act as the primary ingredient. There will be three main ingredients for this dish, sweet corn, spices and basmati rice.

Details of ingredients:

  1. 1 cup basmati rice, plus 1 ½ additional.
  2. 1 cup sweet corn.

  13. 1 green chili.
  14. A pinch of turmeric powder.

  17. Salt (as per taste).
  18. Lemon juice (optional).
