Veg biryani

Trying to get more vegetables in your diet? Pulao or pilaf, is comfort food at its best and I make it when I want to cook veg biryani quick, easy and satisfying.

This one-pot dish made with rice and vegetables has added spices and herbs, giving it a mild aromatic flavor. This special recipe is my mom’s and is my go-to recipe when making veg pulao. Use the vegetables that you like most, like peas, potatoes, and green beans, and the rice can be made in a pressure cooker or Instant pot. About Pulao Called by various names such as pilaf or pulav, veg pulao is one of the most common rice dishes in India, the other being Veg Biryani. There are many variations of making a pulao.

What I like about making veg pulao is that it comes together quickly. Use a food processor for chopping the veggies and it will really come together fast. Why this Recipe Works Spices: This recipe uses whole garam masala spices, rather than adding any pulao or biryani masala. Thus the aroma of the spices is distinctly felt in the dish. Rice: I usually like the texture of the rice to be a little soft in pulao, rather than being al dente, which is the way it is typically served in restaurants. So if you are like me, you will love this recipe.

Read on below for tips on making the perfect rice for your pulao. 5 cups basmati rice in water until it runs clear of starch. Next, soak the rice in enough water for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes strain the rice of all the water and keep aside. While the rice is soaking, prep the veggies. Make sure to chop the vegetables in small cubes. For cauliflower, chop them in medium-sized florets.
