Pulao varieties are very easy to prepare at the same time filling and healthy too. I keep experimenting with different flavors of pulao but this particular Chutney Pulao was in my to do list for a long time since I had tasted it at a fine dine restaurant. The refreshing flavor of mint and coriander chutney elevates and adds a different touch to the taste of pulao .

Small piece ginger
1 small stick cinnamon/dalchini
2-3 cloves

2 tablespoons oil
Method
- Wash the rice well and soak it for 15 mins. Drain it in a colander and keep aside.
- Take the fresh coriander, ginger, few mint leaves ,salt and grind it to a fine paste .
- In a pressure cooker vessel , heat the oil and fry the cinnamon, cloves , green chillies and some chopped pudina until you get a nice aroma.
- Add the chopped potato cubes , peas and saute it well until the oil coats the veggies.
- Mix the chutney , adjust salt and add the drained rice and mix the entire thing gently taking care not to break the rice.
- Add water as per the quality of your rice. I added 3.5 cups of water for 2 cups of basmati rice.
- Once the water starts boiling, close the pressure cooker and cook for 2 whistles on medium flame . Turn off and let the pressure release naturally.
- Open the lid and fluff the rice gently and serve it hot with a gravy of your choice or with thick curd or raita.
- (Skip the curd as accompaniment when following Vegan diet. )
Note
- You can add other veggies like carrot, beans,corn ,cauliflower as well.
- If using onions, saute the chopped onions after frying the whole spices and then add the vegetables.
