1 cup thinly sliced onions (or 1 large onion, sliced)
½ cup chopped tomatoes (or 1 medium sized tomato, chopped)
1 to 1.5 inches ginger (- crushed to a paste in a mortar-pestle)
4 to 5 small to medium garlic cloves
1 to 2 green chillies ((chili pepper))
3 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves ((cilantro))
2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves (- optional)
¼ teaspoon lemon juice (- optional)
2.5 to 3 cups water (or veg stock * check notes below for details. I added 3 cups of water)
salt as required
1 teaspoon cumin seeds (or 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (shah jeera))
5 to 6 whole black pepper (- optional)
1 tej patta ((indian bay leaf))
4 cloves
3 to 4 green cardamoms
1 black cardamom (- optional)
1 small piece of mace (- optional)
1 small star anise (- optional)
1 inch cinnamon
1 small piece of stone flower ((dagad phool or patthar ke phool) - optional)
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves or mint leaves

Steps:

  • Rinse rice till the water runs clear of starch and become transparent while rinsing.
  • Soak the rice in enough water for 30 minutes. Drain all the water and keep the soaked rice aside.
  • Rinse, peel and chop the vegetables.
  • Crush chopped ginger, garlic and green chillies to a paste in a mortar-pestle or grind them in a small mixer or grinder with a bit of water.
  • In a deep thick bottomed pot or pan, heat ghee or oil and fry all the whole spices mentioned above, till the oil becomes fragrant and the spices splutter.
  • Add the onions and saute them till golden. Saute the onions on a low to medium-low flame and stir often for uniform browning.
  • Add the ginger-garlic-green chili paste and saute for some seconds till their raw aroma goes away.
  • Add the tomatoes and saute for 2 to 3 minutes on a low to medium-low flame.
  • Add all the chopped veggies and saute again for 1 to 2 minutes on a low to medium-low flame.
  • Add rice and saute gently for 1 to 2 minutes on a low or medium-low flame, so that the rice gets well coated with the oil.
  • Add water and lemon juice. Mix and stir.
  • Season with salt and stir again.
  • Cover tightly and let the rice cook on a low flame, till the water is absorbed and the rice is well cooked.
  • Check in between a few times to check if the water is enough. Depending on the quality of rice, you may need to add less or more water. With a fork too, you can gently stir the rice without breaking the rice grains.
  • Once the rice grains are cooked, fluff and let the rice stand for 5 minutes.
  • Serve pulao hot with some side salad, sliced onion & lemon wedges or raita. You can also garnish it with chopped coriander or mint leaves or fried cashews or fried onions.
