I got this idea from Fox History channel The chef prepared a kind of pulao and stuffed vegetables with the pulao and cooked them. I don’t remember the country but it came on Food Safari series. It looked so inviting and I couldn’t postpone preparing it. I prepared a veg pulao and stuffed 2 large capsicums with it It was so delicious. My hubby wanted more. I served it along with cucumber slices and we had a nice lunch today.
Ingredients:
Cooked Rice-1cup
Carrot-1/4cup (finely chopped)
Onion-1 (finely chopped)
Green Chilly-3
Cumin Seeds-1/4tsp
Coriander and Mint Leaves-1/2cup
Capsicum-1 small (finely chopped)
Cauliflower-4-5florets(finely chopped)
Salt-to taste
Turmeric Powder-1/4tsp
Olive Oil-2tbs
Fennel Seeds-1/2tsp
Clove-2
Cheese slice-1
Procedure:
1. Heat 1tbs olive oil and add fennel seeds and cloves. Add onions and saute till golden.
2. Grind coriande and mint leaves with cumin and green chillies to a paste.
3. Add this paste to the onions and saute till the mixture becomes dry.
4. Add the vegetables, turmeric powder and salt and mix well.
5. Add a little water and cover the pan.
5. Add a little water and cover the pan.
6. Cook on low flame till done.
7. Add the cooked rice and mix well. Keep it aside.
8. Cut off the top of capsicums. Reserve the top.
9. Remove the seeds and discard them.
10. Stuff the capsicums with the pulao. Press it well and pack it tight.
11. Cut a cheese slice into two.
12. Place each slice folded into half on the pulao.
13. Cover with the top of capsicum.
14. In a deep pan, place the capsicums and drizzle the remaining oil. Add 1/8cup water to the pan.
15. Cover and cook on low flame till the capsicum changes colour. Do not overcook. The capsicum should retain its crunchiness.
16. Serve hot with cucumber slices.
