Hello my Foodie Friends.....Hope you'll are doing great. By the way how's summer treating you in your place? For us, it's still yet to come in full swing, so we kinda dwelling in between.
Coming on to today's post let me first ask you: are you a Roti/Paratha/Naan lover or a Rice lover? If you ask me hands down for Rice, anytime. I have shared quite a few rice recipes on the blog, you can check them out here (click here).
Today's recipe is Veg Pulao in a Rice Cooker. I have already shared the recipe of Bengali style Veg Pulao in a Pan. You can check it out here (click here). This time it is a bit hassle free way to cook Pulao. Pulao is a very popular main course dish in India and its subcontinents. We can also find this Pulao in many marriage ceremonies menu card too.
This recipe is very easy to prepare and can be made by beginners and bachelors as well. I have made this Pulao in Rice Cooker. You can make this in Pressure Cooker or Pan too.
Rice Cooker comes handy when you have some guests coming your way or you want to go out of the house. Just add in the rice and water, plug in the rice cooker and forget about it. Your rice will be ready within 30-40 mins depending upon the brand of Rice Cooker you're using. I use mine to cook from Steamed Plain Rice to Pulao and Biryani too.
For this post I'm cooking Veg Pulao in which I'm using the vegetables which was available to me in my refrigerator but you can use any veggies of your choice. Moreover, I'm cooking this Pulao in Vegetable Oil but you can use Ghee (clarified butter) too or a mixture of both depending upon your preference.
So, without doing any further ado let's begin with the recipe:
