This is one of the first complicated dishes that I learned to make on my own 🙂 It is simply delicious when you are yearning for a variety in Pulao.
Ingredients ( Serves 2)
Grind Together the following
Coriander Leaves 1 small bunch
Shallots 6 pieces
Coconut Grated 1 Tbsp
Cumin seeds 1 tsp
Green Chillies as per taste but this pulao tastes better when spicy
Ginger 1/2 inch piece
Other Ingredients
1 Onion sliced long
1 Tomato sliced long
1 potato cubed
1 cup Basmati Rice soaked for 15 mins
Whole Garam Masala- 3 cardamoms, 3 cloves and a stick of cinnamon
Clarified Butter/Ghee – 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
Method
In a pressure cooker add the clarified butter and the whole garam masala. Then add the onion and saute until transluscent. Add the tomatoes and the potatoes and saute until the tomato is soft. Now add the ground masala and saute on high until all moisture is absorbed. This is important as otherwise, the pulao will become soggy. Then add the rice and salt and 1 1/2 times water. Cover the pressure. Cook on high for one whistle and on low for 6-7 minutes or 1 whistle whichever is earlier. Serve hot with Raita.
