Steps

45 minutes

1

Wash and soak the Basmati rice for 20-30 minutes.
2

Break down the wadis into bite-sized pieces. Heat oil in a pan. Saute the wadis until golden brown. Remove and keep aside.
3

In the same pan, add the bay leaf, cumin seeds, and the whole garam masala. Saute until they release their aroma.
4

Add in the sliced onions along with chopped green chilies. Saute until translucent.
5

Drain the rice and add it to the pan along with the wadis. Add salt. Mix gently and cook it for 2-3 minutes.
6

Now add two cups of water and mix. When the water starts to bubble, lower the heat to the minimum. Cover it with a lid and let it cook until the water dries up and the rice is done. It would take about 10-15 minutes.
7

When done, switch off the heat and let it rest for 4-5 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff up the rice.
8

The Punjabi Wadi Chawal is ready to serve. Garnish with chopped green coriander leaves and serve with raita.
