The next dish in this segment of ‘Cooking in less than 10 minutes’ is ‘Coconut Pulao’.
Pulao (rice dish) is very famous in India.
There may be more than 200 variations of the Pulao.
Today we are going to make ‘Pulao coconut milk’.
Let’s see the ingredients
Oil, Butter, Cloves, Cinnamon Stick, Green Cardamom, Lemon, Sliced Onion, Green Peas, Sliced Carrot, Basmati Rice, Coconut Milk, Shredded Coconut, Chopped Cilantro, Cashew Nuts, Salt to taste
Now let’s see the procedure.
First, let’s take a pressure cooker.
Add a tablespoon of oil and a tablespoon of butter.
We are using the combination of oil and butter so that the butter does not burn.
We need to add 2-3 cloves, a cinnamon stick, 2 green cardamoms.
We have to cook it in hot oil for 15-20 seconds.
Now we will add a cup of sliced onions.
Generally, we sauté the onions until golden brown while preparing the pulao.
But not while making the ‘Pulao with Coconut Milk’.
We have to make them translucent.
The onions have now become translucent.
Now we will add half a cup of green peas and half a cup of sliced carrots.
Now let’s add the Basmati rice and half a bowl of coconut milk.
Add the cashews and salt to taste.
We have to sauté the rice with the coconut milk for 10-15 seconds over low heat.
Now the rice is well done.
Now we will add 1 1/2 cup of pre-boiled water.
Now we need to put the lid back on the pot and cook it for just a whistle.
And the Pulao would be ready.
Now we can take the Pulao on a serving plate and add a little butter on top.
The delicious coconut pulao is ready!
Choose to decorate it with chopped cilantro and pieces of coconut.
