SPICY VEGETABLE PULAO
Instead of making several dishes for a meal, it is fun at times to make a one pot meal. This is when a pulao comes in handy. With an accompanying raitha, it can be a meal in itself.
While most pulaos are made using Basmati rice, there are some which can be made with any type of cooked rice. Often I use cooked rice if it is readily available to make pulaos such as Mint Pulao and Aloo Chutney Pulao whose recipes you will find elsewhere in this blog. Another pulao of this type is called Spicy Vegetable Pulao and is adapted from the recipe of the legendary Tarlaji Dalal.
Notes:- I used frozen green peas to save time. Though the recipe calls for the deep frying of the onions, I sauteed them lightly as per my preference. I used Byadgi Red Chillies instead of Kashmiri Red Chillies.
We enjoyed this a lot and I am sure you will too.
Ingredients:
Onions, deep fried, * sauteed lightly instead
Coriander leaves, finely chopped, 2 tbsp
Method:
Grind the garlic cloves, broken dry red chillies, ginger, coriander seeds and cumin seeds in a mixer to a paste adding 1/2 cup of water. Keep aside.
