Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:

➤Wash and soak the basmati rice in water for 30 minutes. Drain the water and set aside.

➤If you're using frozen corn, thaw it. If using fresh corn, you can blanch it for a few minutes.

2. Sauté Aromatics:

➤Heat ghee or oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

➤Add sliced onions and sauté until they become golden brown.

3. Add Ginger-Garlic Paste and Green Chilies:

➤Add grated ginger and minced garlic. Sauté for a minute until the raw smell disappears.

➤Add chopped green chilies and sauté for another 30 seconds.

➤Add turmeric powder, garam masala, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Mix well and cook for      2-3 minutes.

5. Add Corn and Rice:

➤Add the corn kernels and soaked, drained basmati rice to the pan. Stir gently to coat the rice with the      spices.

6. Add Water and Peas:

➤Pour in 2 cups of water. Add green peas if you're using them. Season with salt to taste. Stir well.

7. Cook the Pulao:

➤Bring the mixture to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a tight-       fitting lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
