CORN PULAO ON BROWN TWIST

First time I prepared this in pulao method. Samba rava is my husbands favo dish but we wont like to have that includes me and my kids. Then my sil SriVidhya suggested me this idea and i tried it for dinner... Wow it came out very well with amazing taste... Jus I have made some twist on adding and reducing the ingredients according to my taste buds. what a wonder both of my kids are craving for this once they tasted a spoon. Then my part has reduced since this was my first time, I have prepared little quantity to avoid disaster.
Thank u Srividhya. Now she has started her own blog and here goes her first recipe...

INGREDIENTS

Samba Rava/Kodhumai Rava - 2 cups
Corn 1 cup
Onion 2
Tomato 2
Green chilli 3
mint leaves few
Turmeric a pinch
Salt to taste
chilli powder 1/2 tsp
Pulao masala 2 tsp
Cinnamon 1/2 inch piece
Clove 1 or 2
Anni seed 1 tsp
Ghee, oil and vanaspathi each 2 tsp


METHOD

Mix oil,vanaspathi and ghee in a pan.

Tamper the cinnamon, Anni seeds, clove then add onion and green chili.saute it for few mts.

Add tomato and corn, fry till it done. Add salt, turmeric, chilli powder and pulao masala.

Mix it well and saute it til the good aroma spreads. Add 4 cups of water and allow to boil.

Add samba rava/godhumai rava to the boiling water. Combine well.

Transfer the content to a vessel and cook it in a pressure cooker for 3 whistle.

U can cook directly in the cooker as we do it for pulao rice.

Garnish with mint leaves.

Tips

U can add vegetables like carrot, beans, potato etc to it instead of corn. I used corn here as I did not have any other vegetable that night.
It will be more healthy and tasty....
