Vegetable Pulao is a spicy, aromatic, fluffy rice made using whole spices, vegetables of our choice and rice. This is one of the most liked rice varieties and loved by everyone including children. In this recipe, the whole spices, vegetables and rice are first sautéed in the ghee / cooking oil and cooked till the rice are soft and fluffy. This can be cooked in one pot over pressure cooker / Instant pot or directly on the stove top. In this recipe, i have cooked it over the stove top directly. This can be served with Cucumber Raita / Onion Raita.
Cooking Pulao in the Pressure cooker
While pressure cooking Pulav, cook in low flame for 20 mins. In low flame we will not get any whistle from the cooker. Even if sometimes we get a whistle, it won’t be a problem. For this method, i have soaked the basmati rice for about 20 minutes and cooked it in low flame for 20 mins. For other rice varieties, the cooking time may slightly vary.
The ratio of water & rice would be 1 cup water : 1 cup rice. This ratio worked well for Basmati Rice. But this ratio can change if you use other rice varieties. Look out for the instruction given in the package and add the water accordingly.
Cooking Pulao in the Instant Pot
We can make this same pulao in instant pot. Start with saute mode and finish all the process till rice and water are added. Then cancel the saute mode. Close the instant pot with lid and move to vent “Sealing” position. Cook in Pressure cook / manual mode for 4 mins. Allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 mins and then force release the pressure.
The ratio of water & rice would be 1.5 cup water : 1 cup rice. This ratio worked well for Basmati Rice.

Notes
Please use the vegetables of your choice. I have used commonly used vegetables in this recipe. You can change them based on your preference.
It's preferred to use Basmati Rice to make Pulao. But this can also be made using conventional rice variety. Make sure that it's not over cooked. The rice should be fluffy for the Pulao
