Mixed vegetables rice

#Lunch #mixedvegetablesrice, I have soaked the #basmathi rice for about 20 minutes and added less water to it and kept for 1 whistle.

Pour oil or ghee in a preheated kadai add whole spices like #jeera, #saunf, whole peppercorns, star annise and bay leaves, once they emit aroma add chopped #onion, #garlic, saute for a while, add #potatoes, #carrots, #beetroot, #beans, #peas, #tomatoes, mix well, let it cook in its own juice for about 7 to 8 minutes in medium flame. Gently mix in between so that they don't get burned at the bottom. Add salt. Mix in

Spread the rice in a plate or tray, let it cool.

Mix in one portion of cooked vegetables and rice, mix in keep repeating until the rice and vegetables get over, adjust salt, garnish with chopped coriander and serve with raitha of your choice. I will be serving it with #louki (#bottlegourd) #raitha.
