Hello foodies,
Put on your aprons and lets cook with Sweetannu today. Stirring up a really easy Mixed Vegetable Pulao (Veg Pulav) for lunch. This spicy rice dish needs no introduction at all. This is prepared by cooking rice with various vegetables and spices. In this recipe, I have made my work really easy by using Kitchen aid ready powders in this recipe. You can use regular vegetables instead.
It's the spices that add the real flavour and taste to the Vegetable Pulav. You can make it in a pressure cooker or then cook the rice separately and then add to your vegetable mixture. I prefer taking little more efforts to cook my rice separately as it gives the best results. The grains of rice does not stick together unlike when you use the pressure cooker.
Ingredients
1 cup Basmati Rice
1 medium Onion,
2 small Tomatoes
1/4 cup Green Peas
1/4 cup French beans
1/4 cup Carrot
2 slit green chilies
4 cloves of garlic
1/4 cup cauliflower
1 tbsp ghee
1 small Bay leaf
1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
1/2 tsp Red Chilli powder
1-inch piece of Cinnamon
Chopped coriander leaves
2 tablespoons Oil
2 cups Water
Salt to taste
Method
1. Wash rice and soak it in water for 15-20 minutes. Drain and keep aside until needed.
3. Heat oil in a pan. Add bay leaf, cinnamon, clove, and sauté for 30 seconds. Add onion and garlic sauté for 2 minutes until it emits a nice aroma. ( substituted onion garlic with kitchen Dlite powders in proper proportion)
3 Add chopped tomatoes and green chilies and sauté on low flame for one minute.
4. Now add green peas, french beans, carrot, and cauliflower.
5. Now sir-fry all the vegetables for approx 2 minutes. Also, add dry spices at this stage.
6. Parboil the rice, with one tsp ghee and a little salt.
7. Now strain the rice and add to the vegetable mixture. Stir-fry them for approx. 2 minutes.
8. Add 1 cup water and mix well.
9. Close the lid and cook over medium flame till water dries up. Do not keep mixing at this stage.
10. Let it cool at room temperature. Open the lid carefully and fluff the rice with a fork. Transfer it to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
11. Serve this with raita or dahi curry, pickle, and papad.
Note
1. For this recipe, I substituted onion, tomatoes, green chilies and garlic. With Kitchen D'lite -Ready to use powders. The cooking procedure got easier. No chopping or hassles of peeling onions and garlic.
2. You can prepare it in a large quantity in a larger pressure cooker. Just use rice and water in 1:2 ratios. i.e. for every one cup of rice, two cups water should be added.
