15 min Lunch

Ok, So not much response from people yet, but yet I am back. This time, unfortunately I don't have a picture of the dish. It's a simple and easy rice dish - sort of a pulao and takes hardly 15 minutes to prepare. So whenever I'm too hungry, or in a hurry, this is what I cook.

Ingredients
  • Rice - 2 cups
  • Onion - 2 medium sized
  • Garlic - 5-6 cloves
  • Green chillies - optional
  • Garam masala powder - 1 tsp
  • Sabzi masala - 2 tsp
  • Soy nuggets/Soy granules - a cup-full
  • Vegetable oil - 2 tbsp
  • Salt - to taste
  • Sugar - 1 tsp
  • Chopped coriander - for garnishing
Method
  • Fry the garlic and onions (chillies if you use), till light golden.
  • Add the soy nuggets after they have been soaked in water and have become soft.
  • Add garam masala powder and sabzi masala powder.
  • Stir and fry the mix till golden
  • Add the rice, that has been soaked in water for about 10 minutes.
  • Add sugar and salt.
  • Add 3 and half cups of water, close the pressure cooker and allow 4 whistles to rise.
  • Garnish with chopped coriander and serve hot with raita or curd.
 P.S - The main taste here is accentuated by the Sabzi masala powder I use. I generally use Everest. Ofcourse you can use subsititute it with Biryani masala also :) Also, instead of soy, you can add boiled chicken. Both work well :)

Cheers!
