Procedure:
1. Wash

chopped green chilies. Fry for few seconds.
5. Add
ginger garlic paste and sauté for few seconds.

7. Then
add chopped beetroot, 2 cups of water ( 1 cup normal water + 1 cup rice soaked
water (from 1) ) and salt.
8. When
the water starts boil, add soaked rice and mix them well.
9.
Close the pressure cooker with its lid and wait till the steam comes out. Put
the whistle immediately when the steam comes out from the cooker lid and keep
the flame at very low. Cook for 12-14 mins. [if whistle does not come, don’t
worry about it]
10.
After 12 mins switch off the flame. Once pressure has gone completely, open the
cooker and transfer the pulao into a wide bowl. Mix the pulao gently with the
fork.
Yummy, colorful and aromatic pulao is reday
to serve. Serve with raitha.

1. I
have used jeeraga samba rice. You use basmathi rice also.
