Sweet Corn Pulao/Pulav

Sweet Corn pulao/ Pulav is the quick, easy & tasty pulao. It's one pot meal & you can make it quickly in the morning for office goers / you can pack this as lunch for your kid. 

Last week , i bought this fresh sweet corns from the farmer's market. Usually i make sundal, this time, i want to try something different, so searched it on google & found this rice as interesting. But i hesitate to try this, I doubt that corn will make the rice as sweet. But yesterday, keep my doubts aside & give it a try, the result was amazing. To my surprise, the sweetness from the corn & hotness from  the chili & pepper powder compliments very well. Ghee & pepper powder gives great flavor to this rice.
