This is my Khala ((Anju Masi))'s recipe for a suuuper easy and totally yummy vegetable pulao. You can use whatever vegetables you like, but this is what I use:
Ingredients:
1 cup of uncooked rice
1 onion, diced
2 potatoes, diced
1/3 cauliflower, large florets
3 carrots, thick slices
1/2 cup peas/tuvar daaney
1 ripe tomato diced
1/2 tsp red mirchi powder
1 tsp dhany and zeera powder/cumin and coriander ((I actually can't remember if she said to add this, or if I did last time, buuut what the heck, extra flavor can't hurt!))
pinch of haldi/turmeric powder
salt to taste
In a large pot, heat oil and add onions, carrots, potatoes, and tomatoes and cook for about 2-5 minutes. Add caulifower, peas/daaney, and the masalas and cook, covered for about 2-5 minutes. The tomatoes should emit some water as it cooks and that should be enough, but if it still looks TOO dry, add a little water. The vegetables should only be about half cooked, more or less.
Wash the rice and put in rice cooker. Add the vegetable mixture and 2 cups of water, stir and let the rice cooker do the work!
This is especially yummy with some dahi/yogurt and achaar/pickle! :)
