Ingredients

  • 1 cup basmati rice 1 cup =250 ml
  • 1/4 cup sweet corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup green pea
  • 1 + 1 tablespoon oil and ghee
  • 3 cloves
  • 3 cardamom
  • 1/2 inch cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon shahjeera
  • salt
  • water for cooking

To be ground into a paste

  • 1/2 cup coriander leaves
  • 1/4 cup mint leaves
  • 2 green chilli
  • 1 inch ginger

Instructions

  • Wash the rice and soak in water.If you are using frozen corn and peas, you need to thaw them and put them in water.
  • Grind the ingredients under " to be ground to a paste"
  • Take oil and ghee mixture in a pressure pan. I prefer cooking this way, it tastes good and I am happy, I am not eating much ghee! Add the spices to it, cardamom, clove, shahjeera and cinnamon, after a few seconds, put the green peas and then the corn. 
  • Let cook for some time.
  • Put the paste into it, saute for a few seconds.Add the soaked rice into it. Saute it. Put water and salt, give a stir.
  • Close the lid with the whistle. Turn off after one whistle. Once the pressure is released, remove the lid and gently mix it with a spatula. Serve with gravy or curd based salad.
