This is an yummy pulao. I felt very lazy and so wanted to prepare a one pot meal. I had some mushrooms and carrot greens. So I tried out this simple pulao and had it with onion raitha. It was so tasty. Hope you enjoy.

Ingredients:

Carrot-1 medium sized

Onion-2

Tomato-2

Basmati Rice-1 ½ cups

Button Mushroom-8

Carrot green-1cup

Shah Jeera-1tsp

Cloves-2

Cinnamon-1 small stick

Bay leaf-1

Ginger-a small piece

Garlic-8pods

Green Chilly-4

Salt-to taste

Procedure:

Grind ginger, garlic, green chillies and 2tbs carrot green to a coarse paste without adding water.
Wash and soak rice for 30 minutes.
Heat 1tbs oil, add shah jeera, cloves, bay leaf and cinnamon. When splutters add onion.
Saute till golden brown. Mix the ginger garlic paste.
Saute till the raw smell vanishes.
Add the carrot, tomato and mushroom and stir well. Add salt for the veggies.
Mushroom leaves some water when salt is added.
Cook on low flame till the veggies are tender.
Add 4 ½ cups water and salt for the rice. Bring this to a boil.
Add the soaked rice.

When the rice is 90% done add 1tbs ghee, mix well and close the lid of the pan. Cook for 3 minutes on low flame.
Stir to avoid burning of rice. When the rice becomes dry switch off flame and leave it for 10 minutes.
Serve hot with raitha of your choice.
