  • 3 medium onions,sliced fine.

Method:


Grind together the 1/2 onion, coconut, garlic, ginger
and coriander in the blender, to make a smooth paste.
Keep aside.
Fry the onions in a the ghee or melted butter.
Also add the cloves, cinnamon and cardommom.
When onions are browned properly, add the red chilli powder
and fry for 30-45 seconds.
Now add all the vegetables,including the cauliflower and
sprinkle some water on it.
Keep covered and cook on a low flame till the vegetables are cooked.
This might take approximately 15-20 minutes.
Keep sprinkling water periodically to speeden up the process,
but do not add excess water as it will ruin the pulao.
When the vegetables are done, transfer the vegeables to a
big mixing dish, add all the boiled rice, salt to taste
and the blended masala.
Mix thoroughly and then heat it either in a microwave or on
low heat on the cooking range.It is heated again to let
the salt spread across the dish.
Serve with Raita.


As with all recipes which involve cooking and baking a sensible approach must be taken especially when dealing with warm or hot (temperature) ingredients. If you are unable to take due care, please do not attempt to make any of these recipes. All recipes are tried at your own risk.
