Notes

1. Basmati Rice to water ratio i follow is 1: 1.5 . If using normal rice you can maintain 1 : 2 1/2 ratio.
2. If you are using basmati rice ,cook for 1 whistle , keep on sim for abt 5-8 mins. Switch off. For normal rice , cook for 2 whistles on medium flame.Basmati rice will cook quickly.
3. Instead of corn you can also add
4. green peas/hyacinth beans / mixed veggies like carrot ,beans etc.
5. You can use fresh or frozen corn .
6. For additional flavor if you want you can add a tsp of garam masala / biriyani masala powder just before adding water.
7. Another method of doing this pulao , is cook rice separately and later mixing it to the bhaji .
