Baby corn pulao recipe – with coriander, ginger, garlic ground to give a great flavor and cooking in coconut milk gives a great taste! Simple yet wonderful recipe using baby corn. Though I have used baby corn, you can also try this with sweet corn. The coconut milk in this recipe makes it really flavorful and delicious. In few easy steps this is an easy one pot meal, perfect for lunch box and for lazy weekends. Yet special and delicious.
Once one of my neighbour borrowed a recipe cookbook from me and they tried it out baby corn puloa, more like biryani and passed it to us. It was a time when we never make biryani at home because my parents place, we never use all these masalas or ginger garlic paste in our cooking. So they sent us a bowl full of a flavourful and perfectly cooked biryani and it was awesome. I wanted to try it out like that many times but could not recreate. I am happy atleast I found an equally tasty version.

Baby corn pulao recipe – with coriander, ginger, garlic ground to give a great flavor and cooking in coconut milk gives a great taste. Learn how to make baby corn pulao with full video, step by step pictures
Ingredients
Basmati rice – 1 cup
baby corn – 12
Onion – 1
Coconut milk (thin) – 2 cups
Biryani leaf – 1
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
Cinnamon – 1 inch piece
Cloves – 1
Cardamom – 1
Salt – As needed
Oil/ghee – 2 tbsp
To Grind
coriander leaves – 1/2 bunch
Garlic,small variety – 5
Ginger – 1/4 inch piece
Green chilli – 4
Garam masala powder – 1/4 tsp
How to make baby corn pulao method:
- Soak rice for at least 10 mins before preparing any rice dishes like this.
- Cut onion to lengthwise and cut baby corn into bite size pieces.
- Grind all the ingredients under “to grind” table to a smooth paste with less water.
- Heat ghee/oil in a small cooker and add the whole spices – biryani leaf, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves.Then add the onions, fry till pinkish, add the baby corn, ground masala and fry till raw smell goes away and oil oozes out. Add the soaked rice and fry for a minute.
- Pour in coconut milk (I used ready-made coconut milk) and bring it to boil.(Coconut milk should not be too thick, if it’s thick then dilute to adjust it to make total 2 cups) Add salt and mix well. Bring to boil and cook for 2 mins in high flame. Later cook covered in lowest flame for 12-14 minutes. Whistle method: As soon as the mixture starts boiling, close and let 2 whistles in medium flame.

I tried this today with sweet corn kernels and carrots grated and it was good. But 4 chillies was wayyyy too spicy for me. 🙂

December 31, 2013 at 6:41 amHi Thanks for the recipe. it looks yummy. Can you please clarify the ratio of water and coconut milk for 1 cup rice please. Wondered if you are diluting coconut milk and adding instead water?
Early reply is much appreciate as I am hoping to cook it for lunch today.
