Ingredients
- 450 g 1 lb pulao rice
- ½ cup mixed vegetables carrot, green beans, peas, corn, etc
- 2 green chili
- 2 sticks of 2.5 cm piece cinnamon
- 2 cardamoms
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tbsp onion paste
- 1 tbsp ginger paste
- 1 tbsp garlic paste
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp ghee
- ¼ cup oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Wash and soak the rice for at least 30 minutes when you’re at home. Warm up the milk. Warm up the oil and add cinnamon, cardamoms, bay leaf, and fry. Afterward, add onions, ginger, and garlic paste and fry very well. When the mixture turns light brown, add ½ cup of warm water so the spices cook very well.
- Add rice to the spices and mix very well. Add 1 tsp of salt and fry the rice on medium-low heat for 5 minutes without covering. Add 3 cups of boiled water, milk, and vegetables. Stir, cover, and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes. Check the salt and add more salt if necessary. Add ghee, and chili and mix very gently so the rice does not break. Stir and if there is still water left then turn the heat to low, cover and simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and do not uncover it for at least 15 minutes.
- Serve warm.
Notes
I like to serve vegetable pulao with the following dishes:
Fries: You can make some potato fries or wedges. Also can add some chicken fries and Egg fry.
Raita (a yogurt dish): I prefer onion raita, tomato raita, or cucumber raita as variants.
Chutney: Mango or Tamarind chutney is a perfect combination with vegetable pulao.
Curry or korma: Select a hot or mildly flavored vegetable curry or korma. Also, egg korma is another yummy side. There is also a side dish of thick chickpea flour gravy with vegetable fritters.
If you don't have time or supplies to make korma or raita, serve it with pickled vegetables and roasted or fried papad (flatbread).
Curd: Simple curd (yogurt).
Salad: Chopped onions with cucumber and carrot and lime or lemon juice.
