• I just added as it is. Let the veggies be crunchy. Do not over cook or make it loose its colour.

• Add the cooked rice to this and mix it gently.
• Let it  be in heat for 2 mins and switch it off.

• Serve it with raitha or any gravy of your choice. We had with Dal palak.

Notes:

1. Since beans and took cauliflower took long time to get cooked i didn’t add. If you want you can par boil it separately and add it to the rice.
2. Adding of fresh cream gives richness and enhances the taste of the pulao. So don’t skip it.
3. Ensure the basmati rice is cooked grainy with each grains separate.
