Cooking Steps

Method:

Step 1 :

To make the broth, take a pressure cooker, in it, add the halved onion, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, garlic cloves, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, pepper, salt, sugar, and paprika, add enough water into the cooker and shut the lid.

Step 2 :

Set the flame on high, and let the water boil for about 5 minutes or until the whistles release. Boil for another 20 minutes, then remove from flame. Wait until the pressure naturally releases. Then unlock the lid. Remove the broth and use the same pressure cooker for the rice preparation.

Step 3 :

Once the broth is ready, wash and soak the rice for 5 minutes. In the same pressure cooker, add the cooking oil and place it on medium heat. Now add the chopped onions and minced garlic, and cook until they are light brown. Then add in the carrots and cook until the carrots are soft. Now add the drained rice along with raisins, almonds, cumin seeds, pepper, cardamom powder and clove. Mix everything well.

Step 4 :

Now add the fragrant broth to the rice, enough to cook the rice perfectly. (About double the quantity of rice used).

Step 5 :

Close the cooker securely and allow the pilaf to cook for about 5-7 whistles. Then remove from the flame and allow the pressure to naturally release. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to the serving dish. Serve hot with a mutton curry or any meat curry of choice.
