This yet another simple and flavorful pulao in my kitchen which is a one pot meal ideal for lunchbox and parties.I have lot of mint plants in my backyard and before the peak winter starts I wanted to use the leaves.Yesterday I made this pulao and here follows the flavorful recipe.........

Method

                               Soak the basmathi rice for 15 minutes and grind the mint leaves,green chillies and coconut to a fine paste.
Heat a pressure pan with oil and ghee,season it with the spices given "to season".Add the cashews and fry the onion till transparent,then ginger&garlic paste.
Now add the ground paste,garam masala powder,saute it for a minute till the raw smell goes off.
Add 13/4 cups of water and let it boil,once the water is boiled add the soaked rice and green peas,cook it for one whistle in a medium flame.Then keep it in the low flame for 5 minutes.Open it after the pressure subsides and finally add the lemon juice and fluff it with a fork gently.
Serve it with raitha,pickle or chips.

Enjoy.......
  • Instead of using ginger&garlic paste it can be grind along with the mint leaves.
  • Coconut milk and tomato can also be added for extra rich flavor and taste.
  • Some times I add coriander leaves along with the mint leaves.

Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
