Soy Chunks Pulao

For Day 2 Week 2 of BM # 19, here is a family favorite for the lunch box. 

Ingredients - 

Soy Chunks 1 cup

Onion 1 medium
Tomato 1 medium (Optional)
Green chillies 2 nos
Turmeric 1/4 tsp
Ginger-Garlic paste 1 tsp
Cloves 4 nos
Cinnamon 1 inch
Cardamom 2 nos
Bay leaves 2 nos
Salt as per taste
Olive oil/Butter 2 Tbsp

Lemon Juice as needed

Method Of Preparation -

In a heavy bottomed pan, heat some oil/butter.

Add cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaves and fry them.

Add finely chopped onions and saute until they golden brown in color.

Add ginger-garlic paste and also tomato or tomato paste and saute.


Mix in turmeric and green chillies (I prefer to put green chilli paste)

Add all the chopped veggies and saute them for a couple minutes and add washed basmati rice.

Saute the rice until it changes color and transfer the contents into a rice cooker.

Add salt and 4 cups of water and switch on the rice cooker.

After it is done, transfer into a bowl and squeeze in some lemon juice.

Serve it with plain yogurt or raita.
