Vegetable Pulao
Vegetable pulao is the most basic dish & is made often in many Indian homes. You will also find it always on the party, buffet & celebration menus, served along with a yogurt raita & sometimes a Kurma/korma/shorba.
Ingredients
You need to prepare the ingredients first. Rinse 1½ cups MB Agro basmati rice a few times until the water runs clear. Then soak it and set aside for at least 15 to 20 mins. Meanwhile prepare the veggies
-
1 medium onion thinly sliced
-
1 green chilli slit
-
1 medium carrot (chopped)
-
half cup green peas
-
4 French beans (chopped)
-
Handful of mint leaves
-
1½ teaspoon ginger garlic paste (¾ inch piece ginger and 3 garlic cloves)
Preparation for pulao
-
On a medium flame, gently heat 2 tablespoons oil or ghee in a cooker or pot. To make in Instant pot, use saute mode. When the oil is slightly hot, add the following whole spices
-
1 bay leaf
-
2 inch cinnamon
-
4 cloves
-
4 green cardamom
-
½ to ¾ teaspoon shahi jeera or jeera
-
1 star anise (optional, but recommended)
-
1 pinch nutmeg (optional)
-
little dagad phool (stone flower) (optional)
-
1 small strand mace (optional
2. When the spices begin to sizzle, add one thinly sliced onion. And then 1 to 2 slit green chilies.
3. When the onions turn golden, add 1½ teaspoon ginger garlic paste.
4. Saute well for 30 to 40 seconds, until the raw smell of ginger garlic disappears. Do not burn.
5. Add mixed veggies and chopped mint/ pudina. I use peas, beans and carrots most of the times. You can also use potatoes and a handful of split cashews or softened soya chunks if you like.
6. Next saute everything well until the mint smells good. Usually it takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
7. Pour 2½ cups water if making in stovetop cooker (or 1¾ cups for Instant pot) and then add ½ teaspoon salt as well. If cooking in a pot, pour 3 cups water.
8. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then add soaked & drained rice. Ensure there is no water in the rice, else the veg pulao will turn mushy.
9. Stir gently and taste test the water. If needed add more salt.
