Course Main Dish
Cuisine Indian

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups rice basamati
  • 1 cup sweet corn
  • 1 cup methi chopped leaves
  • 2 onions medium sliced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 5 cloves
  • 1 inch cinnamon
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/4 tsp ginger powder (I skip this in summers)
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala masala or biryani masala (I use whatever I have at hand)
  • to taste salt

Instructions
 

  • Clean, wash the rice. Soak in fresh water for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a pressure cooker and add the saboot masalas namely bay leaves, cloves and cinnamon and saute for 2 minutes.
  • Add the onions and fry till they start turning brown.
  • Add all the dry masalas namely turmeric, dry ginger powder, chilli powder and garam masala. Now add the corn and methi and fry for 2 minutes.
  • Add 3 cups of warm water to it along with rice and pressure cook for 1 whistle. I actually switch off the gas whenever I use basmati rice, as soon as the whistle starts. Let the steam escape on its own and separate grains of rice using a fork.
  • Serve hot with a raita of choice or even plain curd.
