Simple Vegetable Rice
As the name says its a simple rice dish with no masalas and with vegetables.It is a one pot meal and a child friendly recipe.I was left with few carrots ,beans and potato and my kids prefer something simple to eat and very less spicy.They love ghee rice and jeera rice.But I like to add mixed veggies to the dishes and make it healthy and wholesome.This recipe has very few ingredients.
Here goes the recipe
Ingredients:
Basmathi Rice - 1 cup
Chopped Mixed vegetables- 1 cup (I used carrots , french beans and potatoes)
Onion- 1 med thinly sliced
Green chillies - 1 slit ( can add more according to taste)
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp ( optional, I did not add)
Turmeric-1/8th tsp
Shahi jeera- 1 tsp
Oil/Ghee- 2 tbsp
Salt- to taste
Water- 2 cups
Procedure:
Wash and soak the basmati rice for 20 mins.Drain the water and set aside.
Heat a pressure cooker, once hot add oil or ghee ,add jeera and once it splutters add green chilly and thinly sliced onion.Add turmeric.Once the onions turn brown add the chopped mixed vegetables.Mix it once and add the soaked basmati rice fry for a min and add about 2 cups of water , add salt, mix it well and cover the lid of the pressure cooker. Keep the flame to medium low and place the weight. Cook for two whistles and turn off the heat.Once the pressure goes off open the lid . Mix it once very gently and take it in a serving plate and serve it with raitha.
Variations:
You can add whole garam masalas( bay leaf, clove,cinnamon,elaichi and pepper corns) while adding jeera.
Beginners note:
To cook long grain basmathi rice wash the rice and soak it for 20 mins . Strain the rice . Add 1 and 1/2 cups water and a tsp of oil . Pressure cook for two whistles on a med low flame. Open the lid only when the pressure goes off.
If the dish has vegetables, add 1/2 cup more for the vegetables. In this particular dish I have added 2 cups water as it has vegetables.
