There are so many ways to make pulao but this recipe is one of my favorites. It is my aunt's recipe with a few modifications by me.
What you'll need..
- 1 Cup basmati rice
- 1/2 Cup carrots, julienned
- 1/2 Cup green beans, french cut
- 1/2 Cup peas
- 1 Cup cauliflower florets
- 1 Inch piece of cinnamon
- 2-3 Bay leaves
- 4-5 Cloves
- 1/2 Cup cilantro leaves
- 2-3 Green chillies
- 1 Inch piece of ginger
- 3-4 Garlic pods
- 1/2 Tsp turmeric powder
- 2 Tbsp oil
- Salt to taste
How to..
- In a bowl, soak rice in water and set aside.
- Grind the ginger, garlic, chillies and cilantro into a fine paste.
- Heat oil in a non stick pot. Add cinnamon, bay leaves and cloves to it and fry for 12-15 seconds.
- Add ginger-garlic-chilli and cilantro paste to it and fry for another 15 seconds till the garlic gets fragrant.
- Now add carrot, beans, peas, cauliflower, turmeric and salt and mix well. Cook for 4-5 minutes till the vegetables get a little tender.
- Discard the soaking water and add rice to the vegetables. Mix well.
- Now add 1 and 1/2 cups of water and additional salt for the rice. Bring to a boil on high heat.
- When most of the water on surface has evaporated, mix well, cover with a lid and continue cooking on low heat for 4-5 minutes. Serve hot.
