How to Make Corn Methi Pulao

  1. Rinse 1 cup basmati rice thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
  2. In a medium-sized pressure cooker, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in the pressure cooker. Add 1 teaspoon peppercorns, 2-inch cinnamon stick, 2 cloves, 2 green cardamoms, and 1 medium onion (finely chopped). Sauté for 2-3 minutes until onions soften.
  4. Add 1 cup fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves, 1 cup frozen or fresh corn kernels, and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the rinsed rice, 2 cups of hot water, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir well.
  6. Secure the lid and pressure cook for 1 whistle. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes after the whistle.
  7. Allow the steam to escape naturally before opening the lid. Fluff the rice with a fork.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and serve hot with raita (yogurt dip) and papad.
