Method of Preparation of Sprouts Vegetable Pulao:

- Mix well.
- Add water, chopped coriander leaves , salt and cover with lid.
- Pressure cook for about 2 whistles.
- Give a gentle mix so that the rice should not be mushy.

Note:
- If you do not have sprouts prepare the recipe with carrot and potato.
- Carrot is the important and essential ingredient of this recipe. So it can be prepared only with carrot which tastes similar.
- You can serve with just plain onion raita. Additional vegetables in the raita would give a blunt taste to the rice cooked.
- Do not add chilli powder or turmeric powder to this recipe which is a secret tip.
- I used sona masoori as per her advise. You can use normal ponni rice else basmati.
