Vegetable masala Pulao

This is one of the best variations of rice that I have cooked so far. I used a special masala (pav bhaji masala) which I never thought could go with rice. It was very easy to prepare and was very very very delicious.

Ingredients:

Boiled basmati rice : 3 cups 
Oil - 3 tbsp
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp 
Onion - 1 chopped
Tomato - 1 chopped
Beans - 1/4 cup 
Carrots - 1/2 cup 
Green peas - 1/4 cup 
Long mild green chilli - 2 chopped 
Pav bhaji masala - 2 tsp 
Garam masala - 1 tsp 
Red chilli powder - 1 1/2 tsp 
Lemon juice -  1 to 2 tsp

Procedure: 
  1. Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Once they start to change color add chopped onion and cook it till it becomes translucent. 
  2. Add tomatoes and salt. Cover it and cook it for a minute. 
  3. Add carrot, beans and let it cook. 
  4. Add green peas and sprinkle pav bhaji masala and cook for few mins. 
  5. Add rice to the above and sprinkle pav bhaji masala, red chilli powder, garam masala, salt and mix well. 
  6. Sprinkle some water to make it a little moist. Add the chopped chilli and coriander leaves and cook it. Sprinkle some lemon juice before serving.
Enjoy with raitha on the side!!!!
