Steps

30 mins. Prep T

1

Wash & Rinse the Rice & leave it to air-dry over a strainer

Basanti Pulao 💁🏻‍♀️ (Veg Yellow Pulao)
2

Once dry, transfer it to a mixing bowl, add in all the ingredients aforementioned except the water & mix everything all together until well combined & set aside for at least an hour’s time with a cover on- So as to infuse it with the aromatic spices & ghee to get nicely incorporated into it
3

Before starting to cook- Boil the Water in a pot or an electric kettle: VVI
4

Heat some ghee in a kadhai- Add in the Cashews & the Peanuts & roast them until they turn light brown
5

Now, goes in the same: Marinated Rice & fry it for about 5-6 mins time until the Rice seems to be a bit opaque in its looks, add in the salt & continue frying for a couple of minutes more
6

Now, time to add in the Hot Water & check & adjust the salt at this point (The Amount of water is VVI)-
If it’s excess the Pulao will turn soggy & if less, it’ll stick to the pan & remain undercooked
7

Now, cover the lid of the pan and allow it to be cooked, at the lowest possible heat for about 10 mins time
8

Turn off the flame & add a little more ghee (optional) & a couple more green chillies & rest it in its standby position for the next 10 mins time on the oven itself
9

Serve it absolutely piping hot with Dum Aloo (Any), Chicken/Mutton Kosha, Fish Kalia or Any other varieties of the Mutton/Chicken Curry, etc….& simply ENJOY

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
