Refer notes on more variations. Now, off to the recipe:
Prep time : 10 mins. Cooking time : 15 -20 mins. Serves: 2
Ingredients:
- Long grained rice - 1 cup
- Chopped veggies - 1 cup (carrots/beans/cauliflower /peas etc)
- Olive oil - 2 TBSP
- Salt - to taste
- Garam Masala powder - 1 tsp
- Pulav / Biryani Masala powder - 1 tsp
Masala paste:
- Coconut grated - 1/4 cup
- Clove - 2
- Onions - 1 large - split use
- Cinnamon - 1/4 inch piece
- Cardamom - 1 no.
- fennel / saunf - 1/2 tsp
- Tomato - 1 no (blanched)
- Green chillies - 1 or 2
- Ginger - garlic paste - 1 tsp
- Coriander leaves - 1 tsp
Method:
1) Wash and soak rice in water for 10 mins. Drain.
2) Meanwhile, grind all the ingredients under 'masala paste' with minimum water.
3) In a deep bottomed pan / pressure cooker, heat oil. Fry onions till slightly brown. Add the masala paste and fry again till raw smell disappears.
4) Nwo add veggies, rice and stir till the masala is coated well.
5) Add salt and requsite water and garam masala and biryani masala.
6) If using pressure cooker, cover lid and cook for 2 whistles.
7) If cooking in a rice pot, cover and cook till the rice is cooked and the grains are separate.
8) Fluff them up with a fork and serve it with raita and papad.
Notes:
1) You may use coconut milk instead of grated coconut. Then, add only 1/2 the quantity of coconut, and just before pressure cooking / closing the lid, else the aroma would be overbearing.
2) The veggies are only indicative. You may add sauteed spinach / methi leaves, soya chunks, paneer, baby corn or any other veggie as you please.
