Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 cup Basmati rice
2 cups water
2 cups fresh corn kernels
3 large shallots, sliced thinly
0.5 teaspoon white sugar
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves

Instructions

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice, pour in the water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender and fluffy.
In the meantime, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the corn, shallots, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
In a serving bowl, gently combine the cooked rice, the corn mixture, and the fresh mint. Serve immediately and enjoy!
