Easy Vegetable Pulao

Cooking the Pulao

1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for about 30 minutes.

2. In a pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

3. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté for a few minutes until they are slightly tender.

4. Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pot. Stir gently to combine.

5. Add water, salt, mint leaves, green coriander, and garam masala. Bring to a boil.

6. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

7. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
