Palak Corn Pulao- A very healthy delicious and easy to make spinach and corn Rice

Palak corn rice or pulao is Indian style healthy pulao made with rice, fresh spinach, corn, fresh herbs and few basic Indian spices. This dish is super easy to make and Iron rich healthy recipe. It is like a one pot complete meal need just a simple raita or dahi to serve with.

Addition of fresh spinach puree gave a nice color to the rice and corn kernels gave a nice crunch and color contrast to the pulao. I have used tinned corns which are already blanched but if you want to use fresh corns then do boil them before adding in the rice. You can add some fresh fenugreek leaves with the spinach puree to make it more flavorful.

You can use basmati or any short grain rice to make this pulao , I have used basmati rice for making it. You can also add some green vegetables like beans, peas or capsicum to make it more healthier. It is a very good healthy and filling recipe to pack in lunch boxes. To enhance the flavor I added fresh coriander with spinach but fresh mint or Fenugreek leaves can also be used for variation.
