Beetroot pulao - recipe using Rice Cooker

After the lengthy post of the patty and hot dog / burger bread which takes a lot of time to get done,, this is a really quick fix and filling recipe. This can be a great savior for you as had been for me time to time. This can be done after a long day at work or for the kids when they have their friends over for a play date.

You would need ingredients as below 

Basmati rice - 2 cups
Peas - 1/2 cup
Beetroot -1 Grated 
(You can also use beans etc)
Paneer - cut into small cubes 
Onion - 2 medium sized finely chopped
Spices - Bay leaves, Cumin seeds, while black peppercorn, cinnamon stick - 1 inch piece, cloves - 3/4
Oil/ Clarified butter/ ghee - 1 tablespoon



Recipe 

In a pan heat oil/ ghee and when its ready put all the spices in. The cumin seeds will start crackling.


Then add finely chopped onions to this 


and keep frying.


As the onions start to change colour and get translucent add vegetables and after a minute or two add cheese/ paneer cubes to this.


Now add grated beetroot


Mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Now, switch off the flame.


Now take 5 and 1/2 cups of water to your rice cooker and add this vegetable spice mix and soaked rice. (Requirement of the water can differ according to the make of your rice cooker. As mine has instructions for 2.5 times the amount of rice)


Now when your rice - pulao is ready, it would look like this. Just the difference in color make it a bit more interesting also we all know the goodness beet has.


Now, guess the recipe served in bowl....will post soon though....!!!

Till then, Happy Cooking
