How to Make Corn and Capsicum Pulao/ मक्का-शिमला मिर्च के स्वादिष्ट चावल – Easy Step-by-Step Instructions.

Preparing the Rice: Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch. Soak the rice for about 20 minutes to help it cook evenly. (Time: 20 minutes)

Cooking the Vegetables: Heat some oil in a large pan. Add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter. Then, add chopped capsicum and cook until they turn slightly tender. Next, add sweet corn and cook for a couple of minutes, allowing the flavors to blend. (Time: 5-7 minutes)

Spicing it Up: Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté until fragrant. Then, add spices like garam masala, turmeric, cumin powder, and red chili powder. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices. (Time: 2-3 minutes)

Cooking the Rice with Vegetables: Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pan with the cooked vegetables. Stir gently to combine. Add water, salt, and any extra spices if needed. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the rice is cooked through and fluffy. (Time: 15 minutes)

Fluffing the Pulao: Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat. Let it sit covered for another 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains and mix the vegetables evenly. (Time: 5 minutes)

Serving: Garnish the Corn and Capsicum Pulao with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with raita or a side salad of your choice. (Time: 2 minutes)
