Pulav has been a favourite of Indians since ages. It
can be considered as a friedrice in Indian style, prepared by adding a pinge of
all Indian flavours. Accordingly, the classification goes wide for pulav,
ranging from masala pulav, to simple plain pulav. So always starting from the
bottom, Let us go for a simple plain pulav this time.
Ingredients
1. Basmati
rice (1 cup)
2. Biryani
essence(optional)
3. Carrot-
1 and a half, beans – 7-8 nos
4. Ginger,
garlic, small onion(As per requirement)
5. Coriander
leaves.
Procedure
- Boil
Basmati rice and keep aside after draining water. You can add a few drops
of Biryani essence into the water while boiling the rice, but this step is
optional.
- Fry the
carrots and beans till half cooked and keep aside.
- Grind
ginger, garlic, and small onion into a thick paste.
- Put oil in
a pan, and add the paste obtained in Step no.3 and fry till light brown.
- Add the
carrot and beans(already fried) into it and mix well.
- Add the
cooked rice into the mixture, and garnish with coriander leaves.
- Cover the pan and allow to cook for 2 minutes.
Best Buddies for plain
pulav
This is a pulav in
kerala style and since the pulav is simple we opt for heavy curries like
chicken gravy, beef roast, or gobi and paneer dishes for the vegetarians. A
simple salad and pickle will not go well with this pulav since they do not have
much flavor in it.
Good reviews..
Simple to make and can
be opted even to serve to guests if accompanied by a good gravy.
A bit of caution..
Add sufficient ginger,
garlic and small onion and this paste is rather the most important part since
it alone adds the whole flavor to the pulav.
