About This Recipe

Learn how to make delicious Veg Pulao at home using mushrooms, a unique and flavorful ingredient.

Instructions

1. 1

   Sautu00e9 Spices and Aromatics

   Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or pressure cooker over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, cloves, green cardamom, black peppercorns, and bay leaves. Sautu00e9 for 30 seconds until fragrant.

2. 2

   Cook Onions and Ginger-Garlic

   Add sliced onion and sautu00e9 until translucent and lightly golden. Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute until the raw smell disappears.

3. 3

   Add Mushrooms

   Add sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release their water and it evaporates, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Combine Rice and Seasonings

   Gently add the soaked and drained Basmati rice, salt, and garam masala. Mix very gently to combine without breaking the rice grains.

5. 5

   Cook the Pulao

   Pour in the water and bring it to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked through. If using a pressure cooker, cook for 1 whistle on medium heat, then let the pressure release naturally.

6. 6

   Rest and Garnish

   Once cooked, turn off the heat and let the pulao rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork. Garnish with fresh chopped coriander leaves before serving.
