Ingredients

@mylaporekitchens turneric powder
@mylaporekitchens pav bhaji masala
@mylaporekitchens instant red gravy mix
@mylaporekitchens ghee
Veggies - listing what I used, you can use whatever you want.

Tomatoes
Potato
Carrots
Green peas
Beans
( can use cauliflower too, I didn’t have)
Ginger
Green chillies
Garlic ( optional)
Pudina ( optional)
Coriander
Directions
Pre soak basmati rice for half hour.
Chop veggies into desired shape , size
Heat kadai, add ghee ( I prefer using ghee or butter for this as it gives a much better flavour) .
Temper with some whole jeera. I usually don’t add other whole spices to this.
Add chopped onions, green chillies, garlic and sauté until golden brown.
Add chopped tomatoes and sauté.
Add chopped veggies and sauté. Cover and cook if needed. Do not add water. Iron kadai works best.
Add spice powders - turmeric powder, red chilli powder, pav bhaji masala and instant red gravy mix ( a client suggested this and it works amazingly well for this rice and biryanis without much effort)
I prefer to cook the rice in rice cooker. 1:2 ratio. Cook and cool the rice.
Add cooled and separated rice. Add chopped pudina and coriander.
Optional garnish - cashews and raisins sautéed in ghee.
Pair it with a raita ( easy flavour addition with @mylaporekitchens raita masala) and a tasty, wholesome meal is ready.
