Corn and Rajma Pulao Rice

How to make Corn and Rajma Pulao Rice | Corn and Rajma Pulao Rice is a one-pot flavourful and vegan dish that can be served with any type of raita, salad and roasted papad for a well-balanced meal. It's a clear winner for those who love spicy and delicious rice dishes.

This hearty and comforting pulao rice is prepared with pre-cooked rajma/red kidney beans, frozen corn, rice and aromatic spices. It can be done under 30 minutes if red kidney beans are pre-cooked. This dish can be ideal for lunch box too.

To prepare this tasty and delicious rice, you don't need to prepare separately any red kidney beans/ rajma, if you have leftover Rajma masala, you can add that too. That's what I did, I had a small bowl of leftover Rajma Masala, the next day for lunch I prepared this amazingly delicious rice in no time at all.

Red Kidney Beans and Sweetcorn Curry

I like my rice dishes cooked with some protein, so I don't just indulge in the carb. I know in this recipe, I've added corn but I made it up by eating more protein later that day 🙂  Red kidney beans are a powerhouse of goodness with a great source of dietary fibre, protein and iron. If you are suffering from low haemoglobin, start incorporating Red kidney beans in your diet.

If you are looking for something spicy, delicious and easy to makeover this weekend, then look no further and than this Corn and rajma Pulao.

 

Notes:-
If you don't have rajma masala, use pre-cooked red kidney beans (Can will do, but drain all the water) Don't use just soaked red kidney beans.

I have used brown basmati rice, but you can use normal basmati rice too.
