Description

Vegetable pulao is a rich rice dish which can be prepared in a jiffy.

Note

1) I used carrots, green peas & beans. These are the commonly used veggies for pulao. You can use cauliflower too.
2) Do not wash rice after soaking. Grains will break making your pulao mushy.

2) Cook vegetables with enough salt.
3) Wash & soak rice for 30 minutes.
4) Heat ghee.
5) Add all the spices, given under "spices'.
6) Then add cashew and raisins.
7) Add onion and fry till golden brown.
8) Now add crushed garlic, ginger & chilly & fry till it is done.
9) Add cooked vegetables to onion and fry lightly.
10) Keep aside some onion-spice -veggie mixture to garnish pulao.
11) Keep water to boil.
12) Now add drained rice & fry for about 8 minutes.
13) Pour boiling water to rice & add salt to taste. Then add lime juice.
