Hi Anika,

I will share my recipe with you! Infact the veggie pulav is one dish which I can safely say I cook well. This recipe of mine has lots of fans in my house....from my kids to my grandfather!

Well here it goes! I hope you enjoy it as much as they did!

Ingredients:

Basmathi rice - 1.5 cups
Chopped mixed veggies - carrots, beans, potatoes, peas
(sometimes, I substitute the veggies with just peas 3/4th cup peas for 1 cup rice quantity, or I recently added just corn to make corn pulav...so use your imagination)
Onions - 1 chopped finely
greenchillies - 2 (as per your spice level)
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tbsp.
Ghee/ oil: 4 Tbsp
Mint leaves - few sprigs chopped nicely
Coriander leaves - few sprigs chopped nicely
Coconut milk - 1.5 cups
water - 1.5 cups

Whole spices:
Cardamom - 1
Cloves - 4
Cinnamon - 1 small stick
Bay leaf - 1
Marathi moggu - 1
Star anise - 1
Jeera - 1 tsp
Saunf - 1 tsp
Cashew nuts - optional

Procedure:

1) Heat the cooker
2) Add oil/ ghee
3) Add the entire whole spices at one go
4) sauté until they are fragrant
5) add onions n sauté until they are light brown in colour
6) add ginger garlic paste n chillies and sauté for a min
7) add in the veggies now and saute
8) add the mint and coriander leaves and sauté
9) add salt just for the veggies at this point
10) add rice to this
11) for every cup of rice, you add two cups of water...here I substitute one cup of water with one cup of coconut milk......
1.5 cups of rice = 1.5 cups of coconut milk + 1.5 cups of water
12) taste and adjust salt at this point
13) add a spoon of oil/ ghee
14) close the lid and cook until four whistles and switch it off
15) once done, when you open, add few more sprigs of coriander leaves

Eat it hot with a spicy curry or just raita!
