Vegetable Pulao Recipe

  • 2 cups basmati rice
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground fenugreek
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 carrot, minced
  • 1/2 cup minced green beans
  • 1/2 cup minced cauliflower
  • 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  1. Rinse and drain rice 3 times. Place rice in a bowl and pour in enough water to cover; set aside to soak.
  2. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion, ginger, cumin seeds, fenugreek, and turmeric until onion just begins to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and continue to cook and stir until onions are browned, 5 to 10 minutes more.
  3. Drain rice and mix into onion mixture; cook and stir until rice is dry and lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Stir peas, carrot, green beans, and cauliflower into rice mixture; pour in broth. Cover saucepan and bring liquid to a rapid boil; reduce heat to low and simmer until rice is tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
  4. Remove saucepan from heat and fluff rice with a fork. Stir cilantro into rice, return lid, and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
