SWEET CORN TOMATO RICE

Yum
Hi friends, wish u all very Happy Holi...



I have not tried or tasted the sweet corn before I did the rice. I bought the sweet corn and planned for the rice and I got the recipe from one of my best blogger friend n sister Sangee akka... Even she is inspiration to me to start the blog... Already I tried Wheat biscuits from her space... The rice was really very tasty n aromatic...


Little About Sweet Corn
Sweet corn also called sugar corn and pole corn is a variety of maize with a high sugar content. Sweet corn is the result of a naturally occurring recessive mutation in the genes which control conversation of sugar to starch inside the endosperm of the corn kernel.  It is harvested when the kernels are dry and mature and is picked when immature and prepared and eaten as a vegetable rather than a grain. Sweet corn stores poorly and must be eaten fresh, canned, or frozen, before the kernels become tough and starchy...
