Easy one pot meals that can be prepared within 30 minutes. This simple yet flavorful Pulao can be a great main dish during parties, perfect for quick lunch box on weekdays too.
Add Bayleaf, Cinnamon, Green Cardamom, Saunf and other whole spices one by one. I didn’t have Star Anise hence didn’t mention it in the ingredient list. If you have one you can add them here
Saute for a minute
Add the chopped veggies and saute for 2-3 minutes in low flame
Wash the Rice thoroughly
Add it to the Pressure Cooker
Add 3 cups of water and half cup of milk. I use Double Horse Brand’s Sona Masoori rice which usually requires 3.5 cups of water for 1 cup of Rice. In case if your Rice Variety gets cooked with just 3 cups of water then use 2.5 cups of Water + 1/2 half cup milk. It all depends on the variety of Rice you use 🙂
If you are adding Frozen Peas, Mint or any other fresh greens add them to the cooker now
Add salt, one tablespoon ghee and mix everything together
Let it get pressure cooked for upto 4 whistles
Leave it untouched until the pressure releases naturally
When you open the cooker the Pulao will look like the picture below
Leave it to cool for 5 minutes and then use a fork gentle give it a mix. Rice might get mashed well when you mix when it is hot. Hence the resting time
Fluffy Pulao ready to be served
I prepared a delicious Aloo Mutter in Instant Pot to go with this Rice. Shall add the recipe soon. You can serve it simple Raita or Daal or any Gravy if your choice
