Vegetable pulao

A mildly flavoured vegetable rice cooked in coconut milk. This pulao is a hit in our family. This is very simple to prepare and goes well with some spicy side dish like potato curry or egg curry or plantain roast.
Green chilly is the only source to add spiciness to the rice, so use it according to your need. I hav used 2 slit green chillies that does not make it much spicy. You can add upto 5 or 6 slit green chilly for a spicy pulao.

 Step by step instructions : 
1. Wash and soak basmati rice for 20 minutes.
In a pan heat the ghee and add the whole garam spices.

2. Add onion and green chilly and saute for a minute. Add the ginger garlic paste and saute until raw smell leaves.

2.Add the veggies and saute few seconds.

2. Add salt and mix.

3.Pour in the coconut milk and needed water.

4.Add the basmati rice.Cover with a lid and cook until done or pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles.
