BM #118 Week 2 Day 3 - 

In this series of cooking from three different states, I wanted to include something from uttar Pradesh and so I searched in my bookmarks and the link inevitably took me to  Vaishali's blog.

This flavorful pulao was unique to me as I never add potatoes and cauliflower. I served it with tomato raita and salad to the side.

I made this on a fall weekend when our backyard was full of dried leaves all over and so thought to take the pictures outside. 

Let me know how you like the pictures.

Method Of Preparation -

Wash and soak basmati rice for about half an hour.

In a heated saucepan, add ghee and the rest of the seasoning.

Saute for a few seconds and add the ginger-garlic-green chili paste. Saute for a minute until the raw smell disappears.

Add in the vegetables, sprinkle salt, turmeric, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder.

Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the washed and drained rice and saute for a couple minutes. 

Add yogurt. Mix well and add about two and a half cups of water and cover allowing the rice to cook. [I prefer to transfer the contents into a rice cooker and cook the rice.]

Serve the Tehri with raita and salad.
