3/4 cup (150 g) 5 oz Rice, Basmati, soaked for 30 minutes, drained
15 Cauliflower (phoolgobhi), cut into florets
100 g (3 1/4 oz) Green peas (hara matar)
2 tbsp (30 g) 1 oz Ghee

1/4 tsp Turmeric (haldi) powder
Salt to taste
1/4 tsp Garam masala
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) 12 1/4 oz Water, hot

1. Heat the ghee in a pressure cooker; add bay leaves, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, rice, and salt; saute for 2 - 3 minutes.

2. Add garam masala and hot water; mix well and bring to the boil. Add the vegetables and close the pressure cooker.

3. After 2 whistles release the pressure and transfer the pulao onto a serving platter.
