Pulao

Clean and soak required quantity of basmati rice in water for about 45 mins. After that, just keep it in cooker (without the pressure plug), so that you can open and see the consistency of rice being cooked. The rice should cook in about 15-20 mins.

Check for consistency where it's dry and non sticky, single grains. Set rice aside.

Boil all veggies required and set aside.

Cut onions into very thin slices.

Heat ghee or oil or a mixture of both in a pan. Add onions and ginger garlic paste and sauté them.

After onions turn a little pink/brown, add all veggies, the pulao masala (proportional to the qty of rice taken), and salt. Mix them well and sauté for about 5-10 mins (adding a little curd here is optional).

After it gets to a little dry gravy consistency, taste it to ensure salt is perfect. Then add the rice and mix it tenderly so as not to break the rice.
