ABOUT Peppery Corn & Peas Rice RECIPE

A lovely Hot & Sweet Combo Rice, which is also a great tiffin idea for kids.

Ingredients Serving: 2

Basmati rice 2 cups
Sweetcorn Kernels 1 cup
Frozen/ Fresh Peas 1 cup
Green chilies 2
Jeera 1 tsp
Star anise 1
Cloves 2
Cinnamon 1/2 inch stick
Pepper 2 - 3 tsp or as per taste

Instructions

Soak basmati rice for half an hour. Also if using frozen peas and corn soak the same too in water. Or else you could skip this step.
After half an hour, cook the basmati rice in either way you wish to. I used a rice cooker.
Meanwhile in a kadai, add ghee or oil. Once hot, add in the whole spices, add jeera let it splutter.
Add green chillies, saute for a second and add in peas and corn kernels.
Cover the pan till the corn & peas are cooked.
Once cooked add salt and pepper and saute for a min or two.
In the meantime, the rice also would have got cooked along.
Add in the cooked rice and mix well and turn off the flame.
Check for salt and pepper. The hot & sweet rice is ready to be served.
