Corn and palak are two such veggies which and very delicious. They both combined make many wonderful, delicious dishes. Corn palak rice or pulao is one such dish which is not only tasty but also healthy. This iron rich pulao can be made very easily. Give it a try for your Sunday lunch. This awesome rice can be made in many different ways, here I give my version of Palak-corn pulao.
INGREDIENTS
- Rice 1 cup
- Palak(spinach) 2 cups chopped
- Corn 1/2 cup
- Green peas 1/2 cup
- Onion 1/4 cup chopped
- Cashews 2 Tsp
- Oil 2 Tsp
- Green chilies 1
- Salt to taste
- Cinnamon 1 inch stick
- Cloves 4
- Cardamom 2
- Bay leaf 1
- Jeera 1/2 tsp
PROCEDURE
Wash and soak the rice for half an hour.
Cook the rice along with the whole garam masala(cloves, cardamom, bay leaf, cinnamon) and some salt.
Cool the rice and set aside.
In a pan add the oil and heat it.
Add the jeera and the cashews. When the cashews turn golden brown add the chopped onions. When the onions turn golden brown add the cooked corn and green peas. When they are done add the finely chopped palak.
Fry till all the moisture evaporates and the palak is dry. Now add little bit of salt( rice is cooked along with salt) and chopped green chilies. Sauté for a minute and add the cooked rice.
Mix well and serve hot with any raita.
TIPS
- You can also make this using the palak puree. Make sure that the palak is well cooked and the moisture is fully evaporated before adding the rice.
- Can use other veggies also.
- Fried onions enhances the taste of the dish. Try it.
- Rice when cooked with whole garam masala give an exotic flavor. So cook the rice with whole garam masala instead of using garam masala powder.
