Combine ingredients for paste and make smooth paste using little water for grinding. Add 1 tsp olive oil and combine well to retain the colour of the paste. Do not make the paste too thin or the pulao will be soggy.
2

Saute garlic and green chillies in a nonstick pan. Add the veggies and the salt. Mix well, cover and cook on the lowest flame for 3-5 min. Or till the veggies are a little tender. Add cooked rice and the pesto.
3

Combine lightly. Lastly add the Maggi masala. Combine very well. Cook for about 2-3 minutes and it's ready to serve!
