Instructions

Wash the rice gently for 2 to 3 times and let them soak for 30 minutes in 1 cup of water. After 30 minutes, drain the water completely.

Allow them to boil. When it starts boiling, add the sweet corn kernels, drained rice and required salt.
Reduce heat and simmer until rice is cooked, about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir occasionally while the rice is cooking.
After 10 minutes close the rice with a lid for 4 minutes. Then drain the water completely.
Now spread the rice in a wide plate or bowl. Add a drop of ghee and gently fluff the rice with a spoon.
Take a pan or kadai and add the butter. Allow them to melt.
First add the cumins and allow them to crackle. Next, add the green chillies. After a few seconds, add the thinly sliced onions. Saute them for a few seconds.
Now add the cooked rice to the kadai and mix them gently and evenly. No need to stir them, just mix them gently and garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.
