Steps

1

Rinse tice 2-3 times in water and soak it in water for 15-20 minutes.
2

Rinse and soak soya chunks in hot water for 15-minutes.
3

After 15-minutes, chunks will increase to almost double in size. Drain excess water and again rinse them 2-3 times in water to remove raw smell.
4

Heat oil or ghee in a non-stick pan (with lid) over medium flame. Add cumin seeds, bay leaf, black peppercorns, cinnamon and cloves and allow cumin seeds to sizzle. Add sliced onion and green chilli and sauté until onion turns transparent.
5

Add chopped carrot and green peas and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
6

Drain the excess water from soaked rice and add them in the pan. Add drained soya chunks and turmeric powder. Mix everything well and sauté for a couple of minutes over medium flame.
7

Add 1¼ cups water and salt to taste; bring it to boil over medium flame.
8

When it starts to boil, reduce flame to low and cook covered (cover pan with a lid) for about 10-minutes. Do not open the lid in between as steam will escape and rice will not cook properly and become sticky.
9

After 10-minutes, turn off flame and keep it over hot stove-top for at least 7-8 minutes. Now, remove the lid and fluff the cooked rice with fork.

Soya bean pulao with vegetables is ready. Transfer it to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve it with raita(optional).
