Veg Pulao

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup basmati rice
• 1 medium-sized onion sliced lengthwise
• 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
• 1/4 tsp garam masala powder
• 2 tbsp mint leaves
• 1 cup vegetables chopped [I used 1 carrot, 5 beans and handful of peas]
• 1 cup water
• salt to taste

To Temper

• 2 cloves
• 1 inch cinnamon
• 1 small bayleaf
• 1/2 tsp shahi jeera
• 2 nos green chilli
• 1 tsp oil
• 1 tbsp ghee

Directions For Making Veg Pulao

1. Soak 1/2 cup basmati rice in water for 15-20 mins. You can even soak it for 30 mins, soaking helps in cooking rice softer and grain seperated so do not miss this step.
2. Heat 1 tbsp ghee + 1 tsp oil in a pressure cooker. Add 1 inch cinnamon, 2 nos cloves, 2 nos cardamom, 1/2 tsp shai jeera and 1 bayleaf. Let it splutter.
3. Add 1 medium sized sliced onion along with 1 green chilli and required salt. If you prefer slightly spicy pulao add 2 green chillies.
4. Saute until golden then add 1 tsp ginger garlic paste.
5. Saute for a minute.
6. Then add 2 tbsp mint leaves.
7. Add rinsed 1 cup veggies along with 1/4 tsp garam masala powder.
8. Saute for a minute.
9. Then add soaked, drained rice.
10. Give a quick mix. Mix gently without breaking the rice.
11. Add 1 cup water. I use 1:2 ratio so for 1/2 cup basmati rice its 1 cup of water. After adding water taste check for salt, the water should be salty then salt will be perfect for rice.
12. Close with lid. Pressure cook for 2 whistles in medium flame.
13. Let pressure release by itself. Open.
14. Fluff and mix gently. Homestyle quick veg pulao ready.
15. Serve hot!
