I love adding lots and lots of vegetables to my pulse. It’s like a comfort meal for me. Lazy Sunday afternoon, I decided to go against my own routine way of cooking pulse and adding just a handful of ingredients.
Result was this amazing mushroom and carrot pulse + this pulav has no potatoes so that’s new for me.
Directions to make Mushrooms and Carrot Pulav/Pilaf-
A home style mushroom and carrot pulav for a lazy afternoon. Perfect one pot meal for busy people.
- 2 Cup Basmati or Pulav Rice
- 100 gm Button Mushrooms
- 2 Large Carrots I used orange ones
- 1 Large Red Onion
- Salt As per taste
- 1 Tbsp Kashmir Red Chilli Powder
- 1/4 Tbsp Turmeric Powder
- 1/2 Tbsp Jeera powder
- 1 Tbsp Coriander Powder
- 1/4 Tbsp Garam Masala Or add biryani masala of your choice
-
Wash the rice and soak in 4 cups of water for 30 min.
-
Meanwhile rice is soaked chop just the heads of mushrooms and also carrots and onions. I like to chop them small, it’s entirely your choice how you want to chop.
-
In a heavy bottom pan add some oil.
-
Add the chopped veggies all together. Saute them till they get some color and start to cook half way.
-
Add salt and all the other masala. Cook for 10 secs till masala is cooked.
-
Now add the rice and the water. Cover and cook till rice and veggies are cooked.
-
Enjoy
I like to serve my pulse with fried papad, turnip salad and top my pulse with fried onions.
Other times I could just add some achaar and curd.
Can’t make it now?! Pin if here for later?
