2 no.'s Cloves

1 tsp Oil
1 tbsp Ghee

VEG PULAO STEP BY STEP

1. Soak 1/2 cup basmati rice in water for 15-20 mins. You can even soak it for 30 mins, soaking helps in cooking rice softer and grain separated so do not miss this step.

2. Heat 1 tbsp ghee + 1 tsp oil in a pressure cooker. Add 1 inch cinnamon, 2 no.'s cloves, 2 no.'s cardamom, 1/2 tsp shahi jeera and 1 bay leaf. Let it splutter.

3. Add 1 medium-sized sliced onion along with 1 green chilli and required salt. If you prefer slightly spicy pulao add 2 green chillies.

4. Sauté until golden then add 1 tsp ginger garlic paste.

5. Sauté for a minute.

6. Then add 2 tbsp mint leaves.

7. Add rinsed 1 cup veggies along with 1/4 tsp garam masala powder.

8. Sauté for a minute.

9. Then add soaked, drained rice.

10. Give a quick mix. Mix gently without breaking the rice.

11. Add 1 cup water. I use 1:2 ratio so for 1/2 cup basmati rice its 1 cup of water. After adding water taste check for salt, the water should be salty then salt will be perfect for rice.
