You will need:-
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1/2 cup mixed vegetables ( I used frozen )
- 1 medium potato peeled and cubed ( you can use baby potato too)
- 2-3 green chillies chopped
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3-4 cloves of garlic chopped
- 5-6 fresh curry leaves
- 1 medium tomato chopped
- handful of fresh coriander leaves
- salt to taste
- 3-4 tbsp oil
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1/4 tsp kitchen king masala
- 2 cup water approx
Method:-
Wash the rice in cold water and soak for 1/2 an hour.
Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan or kadai, add onions and fry 2-3 minutes now add garlic and fry till light brown.
Add 2 cups water. Now add curry and coriander leaves, tomatoes, potatoes, peas and all the masala with salt.
Allow the water to boil and add soaked rice. Cook rice first 3-4 minutes on high heat,then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-14 minutes until rice is tender. ( if rice is not done , add very little water. here in UK rice doesn't need too much water
Serve hot with plain yogurt, Raita and papad.
