Receta Peas Carrot Pulao
Wash basmati rice in water three times, this helps to remove extra starch and avoids the stickiness between grains after cooking. Then soak the washed rice in water and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile slice onions and carrots into very thin slices. (I used a Slicer
- to do this. You can use a Sharp Knife
if you wish but make sure its very thin).
Soak peas in warm water for 20 minutes if its the dry and packed one. If they are fresh don't soak them. Slice green chillies remove the seeds and set them aside.
Now heat the pan of a pressure cooker and add ghee to it.
Then add cumin seeds, peppercorns, fennel seeds and saute just for a few seconds.
Then add the sliced onions and saute well until it turns translucent.
Now add bay leaf, cinnamon stick and star anise and saute. Instead of adding these spices in the beginning I have added them now so that these spices will not get burnt.
Now add the sliced carrots and peas, salt and saute well for 2 minutes.
Then add the soaked basmati rice and stir well and make sure that you don't break the rice grains. Stir gently so that it gets coated with ghee well.
Now add 2.5 cups of water (for 1.5 cups of rice) and stir well. Check for salt and add if necessary.
Then close the pressure cooker with its lid and set on high flame. Wait for the steam to ooze out through the nozzle of the lid. Then place the whistle and set to low flame mode.
Cook for perfectly 10 minutes on low flame.
Remove from flame and open the cooker only after the pressure gets released fully on its own.
Serve!!
TIP 1: See that you don't pour too much of water. For a cup of rice 1.5 cups will be the best proportion.
TIP 2: You can also add some cashews to the pulao if you wish.
