Sweetcorn Pulao with stepwise pictures

Weekends are sometimes lazing around,relaxing and cooking is done on a slow phase as we tend to go out and other activities.I wanted to prepare something simple and as sweetcorn is my daughters favourite  I decided upon to  prepare this pulao on a lazy Sunday yesterday.This is a mildly flavoured pulao which can be had just like that or with some North Indian gravy.I had some leftover paneer ghee roast and it complimented well with the pulao.
