Veg Pulao

This vegetable pulao is my mom's recipe. My all time favorite too. I make it for my hubby whenever i'm bored to cook as its very easy to do.  And another reason is i like basmati rice a lot.  So let me share it with you all :

Serving Suggestions:   2

Ingredients:
Basmathi Rice - 1cup
Onion - 1 big
Mixed veggies(carrot,beans,peas) - 1 cup
Green Chillies - 2
Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp
Salt - as per taste
Water- 2 cups
Ghee - 2 Tblsp

To Temper :
Clove - 2
Cinnamon - 1 inch piece
Cardamom - 1
Bayleaf - 1

Garnishing :
Onion - 1 big

Method:
1.Soak Basmathi Rice for atleast 10 minutes.Slice onions and other veggies lengthwise.  Keep few onions aside for garnishing.Slit green chillies length wise and keep it aside.
2.If using dry peas, soak it in water 12 hours before.I used frozen peas which can be soaked in water for 5 minutes and can be used directly.
3.In a kadai, add one tablespoon of ghee and add the soaked rice and fry till all the water gets absorbed.  Set it aside.
4.In the pressure cooker, add 1/2 tablespoon of ghee and add the seasonings mentioned under the temper table.  Once it is done, add the onions and green chillies to it.
5.Now add peas and other veggies with little salt and garam masala and fry for a minute.
6.Now add the rice, required amount of salt for the rice(remember that already salt has been added to veggies), water to the pressure cooker.  Keep upto 3 whistles and remove from stove after switching off the flame.
7.I have not garnished it.But you can deep fry the remaining onions in 1/2 tablespoon of ghee and garnish it if you wish.

Serve it with onion or any other raitha of your choice.

Note:
You can add more chilli than mentioned according to your taste!!!
