CORN PULAV

Today I got up really late, became very lazy too and i was still sleepy so just sat doing nothing till 12 o'clock. I was not in a mood to cook our normal food rice and curry. I can not sit long like (idol) idle. I had some boiled corn in the fridge, wanted to use it today itself because i had kept it a few days ago and i didnt want to keep till it gets smelly. At 12.15 i started my lunch preparation this way... Wow with garlic pickle, but my baby likes dates pickle.
