Sweet Corn Jeera rice - Rice Cooked with sweet corn and flavoured with cumins

Now a days sweet corns are available any time of year and onions, green chillies and other spices are kitchen staples for most people, so this is really a best and easy dish. Adding fresh sweet corn kernels and roasted cumins look beautiful in the rice. With a side of any light gravies, this rice is beautiful to serve for your holiday lunch or dinner. You can use jeera samba rice instead of the basmati rice, but I prefer the basmati since its flavour was so nice in this dish. When making this rice if your sweet corn kernels are not fresh or don't look in bright yellow colour the rice would not taste good either. So try to use fresh sweet corn kernels for this rice. Let's see how to prepare this Sweet Corn Jeera Rice with step by step photos. The best side dish for this rice are Paneer Methi Masala, Broccoli Masala, green peas masala.

A healthy diabetic friendly kichadi recipe made with wheat rava. You can start your breakfast with a cup of this healthy kichadi as it includes carrot, green peas and beans which blend together beautifully with wheat rava.

This is the popular street food recipe from Tirunelveli called mochai. A healthy semi dry gravy with mochai prepared in streetside pushcarts across many places in Tirunelveli and Tuticorin.
