vegetable pulav

This is my daughter's favorite pulav. She gives instructions to keep it white only.

This is simple and tasty. 

Ingredients:

Basmati rice(brown rice can also be used, soak for 2-3 hours) 1/2 cup soaked for half an hour

ginger small piece grated

garlic1-2 clove-grated

onion 1 small sized-finely chopped

green chili-1 finely chopped

coriander  to garnish

salt as per taste

butter 1 tablespoon

Finely chopped vegetables of choice (green peas, corn, carrot, french beans, cauliflower, broccoli)-1/2-3/4th  cup

Method:

Soak rice and drain excess water. Cook without a pressure cooker and make sure they don't become sticky. Allow to cool. Keep it aside.

Now take butter in a pan. Add finely chopped garlic and ginger and saute for 1 minute. Add finely chopped onion and green chili. Add boiled vegetables of your choice(generally I add green peas, corn, carrot, french beans, cauliflower, broccoli) and sautee them for 2-3 minutes. Now add salt and rice. Mix gently. Cover for about 5 minutes on low heat. Turn off the flame and garnish with fresh coriander.

Serve with raita or even plain pulva also taste nice.
