I once got a bag of these beautiful corns.My folks are not into enjoying corn to a greater degree so before I froze the batch,I made this corn pulao.I served it with brinjal raita.The pulao was welcomed by the young and elderly alike and I can happily say it was a hit!
I used:
Rice- 2 cups,cooked,grains separate
Fresh corn-1/2 a cup
Carrot- 1,small,grated
Onion- 1,sliced
Turmeric powder- a pinch
Whole spices – Cardamom- 2, Cloves- 2, Cinnamon-1″ piece,Bay leaf – 1
Ginger garlic paste- 1 teaspoon
Cumin seeds-1 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Oil- 1 teaspoon
- Microwave corn with enough water.I microwaved it for 5 minutes till it was almost tender.Drain and keep aside.The same can be done on the stove top too.
- Heat oil in a pan and put in cumin seeds and whole spice.
- When the cumin crackles, add the ginger garlic paste,turmeric powder and saute for a minute.
- Add onion and carrot and cook till onion turns translucent.
- Put in the corn,rice,salt and mix well.
- Reduce the heat and cover and cook for 5 minutes for the flavors to blend.If the rice mixture is dry,sprinkle a little water.Take care not to add too much water as the rice will turn mushy.
- Remove from heat and serve with raita / pappad

Hi ,I'm curious too,how is the corn coloured in hues of pink?I have seen only cream to pale yellow to rich yellow?
Reva and Rajani,this corn is real and its from our family friends farm.I had seen it in the farmers market [and thought they looked pretty but didn't get it as my folks are not a huge fan of corn.].Luckily my friends passed on a whole bunch of these beauties and I tried some dishes with them.
On cooking the color changes to a very dull brown.
I love corn but never tried corn pulao… looks very tasty!!
Loving it – Pulao is perfect when I am in a hurry!!
Love your combo thali 🙂
