With mixed vegetables, I had already posted Vegetable Biryani Recipe. Ever since our school days, this is my Amma’s style of doing vegetable Pulav. My mother prepares this directly in pressure cooker, but sometimes I use instant pot/ rice cooker.

Can I use other vegetables for pulao recipe?

Yes, you can use vegetables like corn, capsicum, potatoes, mushroom etc for pulav. Paneer can also  be added .

What I use instead of croutons for Vegetable pulav?

Croutons are optional. You can toast / deep fry bread and add it to the vegetable pulav. Alternatively, you can roast cashew in ghee and add it to the pulav.  

Can I cook vegetable pulao in the instant pot?

Yes, for the instant pot version avoid soaking the rice. Add 1 + 1/4 cup water and cook for 5 minutes and do natural pressure release. 

Can I cook vegetable pulao in oil?

Yes, using ghee is optional but it gives good flavor to the pulav. You can use oil for cooking and add a few drops of ghee for aroma.

Notes

  1. You can also  grind onion and green Chilli, and make pulav
  2. If you don't gave croutons add fried bread for extra crisp
  3. You can saute cashew and add for extra crunch
  4. Fried onions can be added to garnish
  5. Can cook pulav  in heavy-bottomed pan or rice cooker with 1:2 water
  6. For the instant pot version no need to soak the rice. use 1 cup + 1/4 cup water and cook on manual mode 5 minutes, high temperature and natural release
  7. Adjust the water according to the basmati rice you use. For kids' easy digestion I prefer 1:2 water. You can add 1:1/2 ratio rice: water if you prefer not so soft cooked rice
  8. Paneer and mushroom can be added
  9. Instead of adding whole spices, you can add garam masala powder
  10. Ginger garlic paste can be used instead of fresh garlic and ginger powder
