Coconut milk based veggie pulao

Recipe:

-Soak basmati rice for 30 minutes. I used 2 cups of rice for this recipe. 

 

-Turn the IP saute mode on. Once its hot, add 2 tablespoons of oil, cinnamon stick, star anise, bay leaf, cardomom pods, cloves, crushed garlic and grated ginger. Mix well 

 

- Saute chopped onions (1 medium) for 3 mins

 

-Now add all the chopped raw veggies(1 cup each veggie - total of 4 cups), 1 teaspoon red chilli powder and 1 teaspoon turmeric powder. Mix well. Add 1 cup(400ml can) coconut milk, salt to taste(3 teaspoons for 2 cups of rice). Mix well.

 

-Add soaked basmati rice. Add enough water just to cover the rice. I added around 0.5-1.5 cups of water.

 

-Close lid, seal the vent, pressure cook on high for 5 minutes. Do a quick release.
