Mixed Vegetable Pulao

This is a great one-dish meal and is great for a quick weekday dinner. I serve this pulao with some simple onion and tomato raita.

Step: 1

Heat the oil in a large skillet; fry the cloves, bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, and cumin seeds in the hot oil until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the onion and ginger-garlic paste into the spice mixture and continue cooking until the onions are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the carrots, potatoes, green beans, peas, and rice; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Pour the water over the mixture and season with salt; gently mix to incorporate.

Step: 2

Bring the mixture to a full boil; cover and reduce heat to low. Cook on low until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the cover and cook another 15 minutes. Stir gently before serving.

One of most obvious way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick something different. When you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Making steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

This also can make to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But sometimes you can make a dish do more often .
