Learn how to make simple and delicious Sweetcorn Spring Onion Rice with step by step pictures. Easy Sweet Corn Pulao recipe for quick lunch or dinner!
Yet another Monday. Yet another week. The weekend seems to go off at lightning speed for me. I heard of a very bad news on Friday evening and ever since I am trying to cope up with it. I do not want to share it on this blog but I would only pray to God to give everyone the strength to go through the tough times and to keep the world safe.
I am posting a very simple recipe today. A weekday lunch that can be made very quickly. This dish does not require many ingredients and nevertheless turns out quite tasty. If you love sweetcorn and are a fan of spring onion like me, be assured that this would be your favorite in no time. This is usually very good for taking in lunch boxes too. I have kept the flavors very simple – salt and pepper powder. Substitute white rice with brown rice, you will have a healthy bowl for food.

- As the water comes to a boil, add the rice. Reduce the flame to low. Keep the pan covered with a lid and cook for 7-10 mins.
- The rice should look cooked enough and all water must be evaporated. Let it rest for 10mins before mixing it all together.

Notes
- Instead of the onion, one can use the onions from the spring onion. Mine were too small so I chopped them off.
- Black or White pepper can be used as per preference. I used black pepper powder.
- Leave the rice untouched for 5-10 mins after removing it from heat. That helps the rice not from breaking while stirring.
