Sweet Corn Pulao

By Harini
This post was due long time:)I got my hands on very fresh looking sweet corns few weeks back and cooked some dishes with them.This simple yet very very tasty and flavorful pulao was one of them.I was posting most recent recipes and also trying to keep up the phase of festival series,I some how missed to post those sweet corn recipes.Today I was going through my pictures and realized I didn't post these.So lets taka a short break from navrathri recipe and dig in to this quick pulao.Since this contains onions,those who celebrate navrathri avoiding onion garlic n rice can skip it for now and others can enjoy :)with no added spice powder,garam masla or any kind of flavoring agent,only with bursting flavor and slight sweetish taste from sweet corns and onions,if now or later this recipe is worth a try and tastes amazing with any spicy gravy and vegetable roast.
