METHOD

Preparing Rice & Vegetables
  1. Wash rice a few times. Soak them in water for 30 minutes. Drain the water and keep them aside.
  2. Rinse, peel, and chop the vegetables.
  3. Crush chopped ginger, green chillies, and garlic to a paste using mortar and pestle or use a grinder to make a smooth paste.
Frying Onions & Spices
  1. Take a deep pan (preferably thick-bottomed) and heat ghee or oil. Add all the whole spices as listed above. Fry until they splutter.
  2. Add chopped onions and sauté on a low to medium flame till they turn golden brown. Then add the ginger-garlic-chili paste and saute for a few seconds till their aroma vanishes.
  3. Add tomatoes and saute for 2 to 3 minutes on a low to medium flame.
  4. Once tomatoes are done, add all the chopped veggies, saute for 1 to 2 minutes on a low to medium flame.
  5. Finally, add rice and saute for 1 to 2 minutes on a low to medium. Mix gently and ensure the rice gets well coated with the oil.
  6. Add water and some lemon juice. Mix and stir. Sprinkle salt and stir again.
Cooking Vegetable Pulao
  1. Cover tightly with a lid and let the rice cook on a low flame so that the water is absorbed.
  2. Keep checking in between a few times to ensure the water is enough. You can use a fork and gently stir the rice. You may need to add less or more water depending on the quality of rice.
  3. When the rice is cooked and turned fluffy, let it stand for 5 minutes.
  4. Garnish with chopped coriander or mint leaves. You can also top it with fried onions or fried cashews.
  5. Mix veg pulao is ready to serve. It pairs perfectly with raita or curry.
