How to make the Sweet corn Pulao Recipe

Sweet Corn Pulao is an easy pulao recipe next to the Peas Pulao and Jeera Pulao. If I am in a hurry or lazy to prepare any South Indian traditional kuzhambu varieties, then I go for preparing the Pulao recipes.  Since this is mild spicy, any kind of spicy side dish like spicy meal maker gravy goes very well with this pulao. I am planning to try more different variety of Pulao as it is easy to prepare one pot meal and tastes great.

Easy Broccoli Rice in Indian Style

This Broccoli rice in Indian style is a recipe which I prepared recently. I was planning to prepare this long time before, but some how kept postponing it. I usually prepare broccoli soup most of the times as it’s our family favorite. Last I prepared and When I tasted, I felt I could have reduced the pepper, as it is bit spicy and also, should have chopped broccoli into more finer pieces.
 
There are many variations in preparing this broccoli rice indian style by mixing it with biryani masala, or just tempering it with mustard and curry leaves, etc. The way which I have prepared is much more simpler version. We will also see different variations of this in the coming days.
 
Let’s see how to prepare this one pot meal – broccoli rice.
