Instructions
- Soak basmati rice for atleast 10 mins.

- Peel and grind ginger, garlic, cinnamon with little water to fine paste.
- Heat a small pressure cooker, add oil and temper with the items given under to temper table.
- Add onion, green chilli and fry till transparent in medium flame. Add ground ginger garlic paste.
- Give it a stir for a minute and add the vegetables.
- Fry in medium flame for 2 mins.
- Add the rice, drained from water. Mix well.
- Add salt, coconut milk (or water) and bring to boil.
- Close the pressure cooker and keep the flame in lowest flame possible and cook for 12 – 14 mins.
- Or you can also keep for 2 whistles in medium flame also. Open and fluff the pulao carefully and mix ghee.
Notes
- Soaking rice gives soft rice and needs less water to get cooked, hence we get separate grains.
- Fry in medium flame to avoid browning of any ingredient which will make pulav look dull in colour.
