Methi Corn Pulao

One of my quicky n easy pulav recipes I often make is what I would love to share with all today. Methi Corn Pulav goes quite well with just a Raitha . I had made Kanda - Aloo (Onion - Potato) Raitha to go with it.

In 1 tsp of ghee , add the whole garam masala's (jeera, clove , bay leaf , cinnamon , star anise and cardamon(opional) , bada elachi. Once they get heated , add the sliced onions , crushed green chilles with a pinch of salt. This will quicken the process as the water evaporates faster.

Once the water is nearly evaporated , cover the pulav with a lid and cook for 5 minutes in low flame. After 5 minutes turn of the gas and keep it aside. Add a blob of ghee if you like over the top.
