My dear friend A from Med School is so much in to cooking these days, i am so proud of her. Here is yet another recipe I dedicate to her and her kid. Vegetable pulao goes well with cauliflower manchurian and spicy chicken curries.




A few things before we start:

• Coconut milk give a rich flavour to the rice. If you want you can alter the ratio of water to coconut milk for a lighter taste and to reduce calories.
• You can add any vegetales at all. When adding capsicum and celery, make sure not to over cook them so much that they go mushy.

Vegetable Pulao

Serves 4

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Ingredients:

1 - Basmati rice - 2cups
2 - Oil - 1 tbsp
3- Whole black peppercones - 1 tsp
    Onion - 1/2, sliced
    Carrot - 1, cut in small strips

    Green peas - 1/2 cup

    Sweet corn - 1/2 cup
4- Salt - 1 1/2 tsp
5- Coconut milk - 400ml
    Water - 1 1/4 cup
6- fresh coriander leaves for garnish (optional)

Method:

• Rinse rice in several changes of water, until the water that runs off is clear. Let drain while you prepare the rest of the pulao.
• Over high heat, warm the oil in a wide pan with a lid. Add peppercones, and let them pop. 
• Lower the heat to medium and add the onions. Cook for about 2 minutes, then add the carrots, green peas and sweet corn. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt.
• Now add the rice and stir well. Pour in the coconut milk, the water, and the remaining teaspoon of salt. Return the heat to high, bring to a boil, give it one more stir, then cover and leave to cook till all the water is absorbed.
• Sprinkle with coriander leaves if using and serve.
