Ingredients:

Basmati rice  1 cup 
baby corn  10-12  
Onion  1 
Coconut milk(thin)  2 cups 
Bay leaf  1 
Turmeric powder  as needed 
Cinnamon  1 inch piece 
Cloves  2 or 3 
Ealchi  2 
Salt  As needed 
Oil/ghee  2-3 tblsp 

To Grind
coriander leaves 1/2 bunch
Garlic,small variety 4-5
Ginger 1/4 inch piece
Green chilli  4
Garam masala powder 1/4 tsp

Method:

1. Soak rice for at least  1/2 hour before preparing any rice dishes like this. The more you soak, the more soft the gains will be and you can use less water ratio for cooking it.
2. Cut onion to length wise and cut baby corn into bite size pieces. Pressure  upto 3 whistles. If you slice them thinly into circles or diagonally, then no need to pressure cook.
3. Grind all the ingredients under "to grind" table to a smooth paste with less water.
4. If you are cooking direct in pressure cooker,heat ghee/oil in the cooker and add the whole spices-bay leaf,cinnamon,elachi and cloves.Then add the onions,fry till pinkish,then add the baby corn,ground masala and fry till raw smell disappears.Add the soaked rice and fry for a minute.
5. Then add coconut milk( I used ready-made coconut milk) and bring it to boil.(Coconut milk should not be too thick or too thin,if its thick then dilute to adjust it to make 2 cups- you can reduce the water quantity to 1 & 1/2 cups.). Addsalt and mix well and cook covered in lowest flame,without pressure regulator for 8-10 minutes.
6. Now pulav is ready and serve hot with onion raita or raita of your choice!
