PuIIao, from the Persian word "pullo," describes a grain dish that is cooked with many ingredients. PuIlao rice can be served with almost any Indian meal. For special occasions, this dish is often tinted yellow with turmeric or saffron.
In medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook until medium brown in color.
Add rice and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Add peas and corn and simmer for 2 minutes. Add salt. Fluff with a fork and serve right away.
