Some mixed frozen vegetables like beans, carrots and green peas. 3 tsbp ghee(clarified butter) Method Grind together the 1/2 onion, coconut, garlic, ginger and coriander in the blender, to make a smooth paste. Keep aside. Fry the onions in a the ghee or melted butter. Also add the cloves, cinnamon and cardommom. When onions are browned properly, add the red chilli powder 73 and fry for 30-45 seconds. Now add all the vegetables,including the cauliflower and sprinkle some water on it. Keep covered and cook on a low flame till the vegetables are cooked. This might take approximately 15-20 minutes. Keep sprinkling water periodically to speeden up the process, but do not add excess water as it will ruin the pulao. When the vegetables are done, transfer the vegeables to a big mixing dish, add all the boiled rice, salt to taste and the blended masala. Mix thoroughly and then heat it either in a microwave or on low heat on the cooking range.It is heated again to let the salt spread across the dish. Serve with Raita. |
