    Since Navaratri festival season is here, some may avoid onion and garlic in their diet. So here's a simple one to add to collection.

    This is done in absorbtion method of cooking rice as I have already posted veg pulao recipe in pressure cooker.

    I always wanted to try something simple that can be prepared in a jiffy. Not very used to no onion though, but realizing how easy and saves time if we cook without onion in festival days.

    So this pulao recipe will be a great to go meal even in days where you want to keep it simple.

    Just make sure to pair it up with a rich gravy and this is really a treat. Do check out my simple no onion no garlic malai kofta if you are looking for something to go with it in this festival season.

    I have made this in absorption method. You can use pressure cooker method too.

    Either by giving whistle or even by slow cooking in it as I always do for other biryani recipes.

    I saw a Sanjeev kapoor's video as reference, in which he adds peas in the mid way (I recently do this for my biryani as well, I add cauliflower and peas in the midway through).

    Notes

    • After adding water, boil in high flame, do not heat in low flame ( I add hot water and recommend same if you can)
    • Giving standing time is important for rice to get completely cooked.
    • If you choose pressure cooker method, after water boils, add peas and pressure cook for 2 whistles in medium flame.
    • Total cooking time should not exceed 14 mins after adding rice. The cooking time varies with the vessel, stove you use. So adjust accordingly.
