Instructions
 

  • Soak rice for 30 minutes.
  • Heat ghee/ oil in a pan, add spices under tempering and let them splutter.
  • Add chopped carrot, beans, potato, and baby corn (I haven’t used it in this recipe) and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add chopped tomatoes, salt, chili powder, masala powder and let it cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add soaked rice to the pan and fry it for a minute for rice to absorb the flavors.
  • Transfer it to rice cooker or pressure cooker and add required water (refer notes), mint and coriander leaves.
  • If using a pressure cooker, cook for the same amount of time required to cook normal rice (its 2 whistles for my cooker).
  • Garnish with coriander leaves and serve it with raita.

Notes

  1. Soak rice for 30 minutes to get the perfect flavor.
  2. I have used Basmati rice, you can cook it with regular white rice or brown rice. Just refer to the package instructions for water quantity and cooking time.
  3. If using a pressure cooker, cook for the same amount of time required to cook normal rice (its 2 whistles for my cooker).
