Sweet corn and Paneer Pulav- simple and easy pulav with mild flavours. This Pulav is best for kids lunch box as they like both the sweet corn kernels and paneer cubes.

In this Pulav, I have not used either tomatoes or lemon juice instead I have added thick curd while sauteing the onions. After cooking the Pulav, the paneer cubes are sauted in ghee or oil and then added to the rice.

Sweet Corn Jeera rice - Rice Cooked with sweet corn and flavoured with cumins A hearty and delicious rice with basmati rice, sweet corn kernels and tossed in ghee or butter with cumins.
