Ingredients:
2 cups Basmati Rice (I used Jasmine rice)
1.5 cups Mix vegetables of your choice – chopped (I used peas, carrot, corn)
3 tbsp Ghee/Clarified butter + 1 tbsp Oil
1 tsp Ginger-Garlic paste
1 medium Onion – sliced
1 Tej patta/ Bay leaves (OPTIONAL)
1 tsp Turmeric/Haldi
1 tbsp Red Chili powder
1 tsp Coriander powder
1 tbsp or more - Biryani Masala powder (Badshah/Everest or any brand)
For garnish – Handful of Cashew and Raisin (OPTIONAL)
2 tbsp chopped Coriander leaves
Salt to taste
How to:
How to cook fluffy rice with separate grains:
I always use this method like cook pasta except soaking time. Rinse rice and soak in warm water at least 30 minutes. Bring a lots of water to boil (about 5-6 cups water with adding a tsp salt). Salt increases the boiling point of the water and enhances the flavour of the rice. Add a tsp of oil and rice. Stir occasionally to stop the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Use your best spatula for stirring, spatula works best. Cook rice on medium heat. It will cook in 7-8 minutes. Make sure your rice don’t get overcooked. It should be cooked but still fluffy and separate grains. Drain the cooked rice through a colander, and pour cold water over the rice in the colander. Keep it aside for at least 15-20 mins to drain all the water.
Meanwhile, you can prepare other part.
1. Heat 2 tbsp ghee + oil in a wide pan. Toast cashew and raisins about 1 mins or light golden brown. Remove it from pan and keep it aside. In same pan, add bay leaves and onion. Sprinkle some salt to it. Cook onion till light pink. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook 2 mins more.
2. To this, add mix vegetables and cooked for a while – about 5-7 mins or till almost cooked yet crunchy. Add all the spice powders, and salt. Mix well. Add cooked rice to this and mix well. Check for seasoning. Cook about 2 mins more.
3. Remove from fire and garnish with cashew-raisins and coriander leaves. Finally, drizzle remaining a tbsp ghee on top of Pulav. Cover it for 5-7 mins until you are ready for it.
