How to make Vegetable Pulao/वेजिटेबल पुलाव

Preparation

  1. Wash and soak the rice in water for half an hour.

Cooking

  1. In a thick-bottomed pan, heat oil and add cumin seeds, black cardamom, and bay leaves.

  2. Add diced onions and sauté until golden brown.

  3. Add chopped potatoes and cauliflower florets. Add salt to prevent the potatoes from burning and cook for 4 minutes.

  4. Add grated and chopped carrots, green peas, red chilli powder, and garam masala. Cook for another 4-5 minutes.

  5. Add water, cover, and bring to a boil.

  6. Add the strained soaked rice. Check the salt consistency by tasting a little pulao water. Adjust salt if necessary.

  7. Cover and bring to a boil again. Simmer the stove, stirring occasionally, and cook until the rice is done, approximately 20 minutes.

  8. Remove from flame and let it sit aside for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the rice is soaked properly to achieve the perfect texture.

  2. Taste the water for salt before the final cooking to adjust seasoning.
