Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Wash the rice thoroughly through a sieve. Soak in room temperarture water for 20-30 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat oil in a pan. Add the garlic. Fry for 2-3 seconds in low heat. Do not burn.
  3. Add the onions to the oil. Increase the heat to medium. Fry for 2-3 minutes till they become translucent and start to brown.
  4. Once the onions leave their raw state, add the corn. Fry this for another 2-3 minutes in medium heat.
  5. Pour in the tomato puree and stir. Cook this in low to medium heat till all the water is released and the tomato puree cooks completely. Should take about five minutes. Stir continuously to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  6. Season with salt, cumin powder and red chili powder. Stir.
  7. Add the Chipotle sauce and mix well for a few seconds.
  8. Add the soaked rice and give it a quick stir so that it assimilates with the tomato puree and the spices.
  9. Pour in the vegetable stock. Give it one last mix and cover the pan with a lid.
  10. Cook the rice for about 25-30 minutes on medium to low flame. Keep checking in between.
  11. Once done, remove from heat and let it rest for another ten minutes.
  12. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves just before serving. Enjoy with some sour cream and salad.
Recipe Notes

For the vegetable stock, you can either make your own or get a store-bought version. To make your own, accumulate all the leftover vegetables in your kichen. Heat oil in a pan, add garlic and saute the vegetables in it for about two minutes. Now add water to it and simmer for about an hour. Strain and preserve to use in gravies and other recipes.
