Tawa Pulao

1. Rinse a cup of Eleven Basmati Rice and soak it for 30 minutes. Boil water in a pan and cook rice till it’s a bit soft.
2. Boil potatoes, a carrot, peas, and beans till they’re soft (remember, not mushy).
3. Take a Tawa or a pan (The dish is called Tawa Pulao for a reason!). Heat oil and add cumin seeds to it. Stir it till you hear the crackle.
4. Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté till golden brown or transparent.
5. Add the ginger garlic paste to the mix and cook it for a minute or till its aroma makes you smile.
6. Add tomatoes to the pan with a pinch of salt. Cook the tomatoes till they’re mushy.
7. Now, it’s time to spice up your dish. Add Pav Bhaji Masala and Red Chili Powder to the mix and cook it for a few seconds.
8. Remember to add capsicum in the end so it stays slightly crunchy. Cook it for a minute and add the boiled potatoes, peas, carrots, and beans.
9. Finally, add the boiled rice to it and mix well. Top it up with lemon juice and add salt if required.
10. Garnish it with fresh coriander and serve as a standalone dish or with vegetable raita.
