Next to Pudina Rice, both my boys love this babycorn pulao so much & I often make this to pack in their lunch boxes.
I have made this babycorn pulao in an open pan but if you do not wish to supervise & check on rice, then you can cook the same in a pressure cooker too.
Earlier I used to prefer cooking pulaos in pressure cooker but off late, I prefer making them in open pan as the vegetables don’t get over cooked in the pressure.
We love the slightly crunchy veggies in our pulaos which tastes really good when had with raw cucumber roundels & raita.
I have added some ghee along with oil to make this pulao more aromatic but if you wish to make it vegan, just replace ghee with oil & follow the recipe.
You can also peas & other veggies to make it a wholesome complete meal in itself. Instead of basmati rice which I have used here, you can use brown rice, quinoa or seeraga samba rice.
But while doing so, you have to keep in mind to adjust the water added as each rice have their own ratios & the time it takes to get cooked will also differ.
