Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice
  • 15 french bean
  • 1 capsicum
  • 1 bowl green peas

To be ground to a paste

  • 1/2 bunch coriander
  • 15 mint leaves
  • 2 green chilly
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic

Other ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon oil and ghee
  • 1/4 teaspoon shajeera
  • 2 cardamom
  • 3 cloves
  • 1 bay leaf
  • water for cooking
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Wash the rice and keep it aside. 
  • Cut the vegetables and keep them ready.
  • Grind the ingredients under the section,"To be ground to a paste"
  • Take oil and ghee mixture in a pressure pan, add caraway seeds, as it sizzles, put cinnamon stick, cardamom and cloves to it. Give a stir and after thirty seconds, put the ground paste. Saute for sometime.
  • Now, add beans to it. After two minutes, put peas and then capsicum to it. Saute for sometime, add the washed rice to it. Saute slowly for sometime.
  • Add water and salt to it. Give a stir, close the lid and let cook for one whistle.
  • Allow the pressure to release by itself. Gently mix with a ladle. Serve hot with onion raita.

Notes

  • Quantity of water depends on the rice. I usually add two cups of water for one cup of rice.
  • I do not soak the rice in water. I wash the rice, drain the water and keep it aside, this gives me good results. 
  • You may soak the rice if you wish.
  • I prefer to use oil and ghee mixture. You may use only ghee or oil.
