Tips

For a richer flavor, sauté spices in ghee until they release their aroma.

Soaking rice enhances its texture and ensures even cooking.

Adjust the level of spices according to your taste preferences.

Directions

Prepare the Rice: Rinse 2 cups of basmati rice until the water runs clear. Soak in fresh water for 30-45 minutes.

Heat Oil and Ghee: In a large vessel, heat 1 tbsp oil and 2 tbsp ghee. Add whole spices and sliced onions, and sauté until onions are golden.

Make the Masala: Add the ginger-garlic-chilli paste and sliced tomatoes. Season with salt and cook for 2-3 minutes, adding a splash of hot water if too dry.

Spice it Up: Lower the heat and stir in turmeric, red chilli, and coriander powders. Quickly follow with a splash of hot water to prevent spices from burning.

Mix Curd and Biryani Masala: Whisk biryani masala into curd to avoid lumps. Add this mixture to the vessel, stirring continuously.

Add Vegetables: Introduce potatoes, carrots, beans, and peas. Cook until potatoes are halfway done.

Cook the Rice: Drain the soaked rice and add to the pot along with 4 cups of water. Stir gently and simmer covered on low heat for about 10 minutes. Check for doneness and cook uncovered if necessary.

Let it Rest: After cooking, let the pulao sit covered for 5-10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
