Pulao is one of the most versatile rice dish.. u can add or substract any ingredients. Make is as fancy and as simple as you wish. it can be eaten as a quick dinner and at the same time served to guests. it also doesnot need any accompaniment. you can eat it on it's own...
and i bet everyone has their own way of making and savouring.
i had read the use of soya on www.chefinyou.com a few weeks back and have really liked the use of soya chunks and mince.
so here is my version and way..
you need
1 cup basmati rice ( washed)
1/2 cup saya mince or chunks ( soak them in some water)
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt, red chilli powder, tumeric.( as per taste)
ghee/ butter as per taste
1 large bay leaf ( tej patta)
Following vegetables finely chopped ( add or substract as u wish)
1 onion
1 potato
3-4 French beans
1/3 cauliflower
1/4 cup peas
2 tomatoes
2-3 cloves garlic
Coriander for garnishing
How to make
Heat a heavy bottom pan with lid or pressure cooker.
Heat ghee and add bay leaf. Add cumin (jeera) till it splutters.
Add garlic , onion and potatoes. saute
Add all the vegetables and tomatoes.
Put masala.( salt turmeric and chilli powder)
Add washed rice to the pan and stir gently not breaking the rice.
Lastly add the soaked soya ( chunks or granule).
Add roughly double the amount of water. that is for a cup of rice 2 cups of water.
Cover and cook. If using pressure cooker 1 whistle should be okay.
Serve hot garnished with coriander.
