Jahtpat pulav is a very colourful recipe and is made in a jiffy. it the recipe for all those lazy days when u dont wanna spend all ur time sitting in the kitchen and cooking ur dinner.


This is a quick pulav recipe. It just took me 20 mins to finish of with this dish....including the time for the rice to cook. It tastes so good and u dont actually need any side with it... we had it just with plain curd and some pickle....Less efforts and more taste...easy to make and my husbad loves it.This was our dinner yesterday night..

Ingredients:

Raw rice - 2 cups

Carrot - 1

french beans - 10-12

potato -1

Biryani/ pulav masala - 1/2 tsp

salt to taste

peper powder-1/2 tsp

Ghee - 2 tsp

Fresh coriander leaves chopped

Method:

Cut all the vegetables lengthwise. In a kadhai take some ghee the jeera to it.. let it splutter. Then add all these vegetables and let the vegetable fry a bit. Now add the pulav masala to it and mix it well..sprinkle some water to it and cook it covered for 5 minutes in medium flame. After the vegetables are sauteed well, add the raw rice to it and mix well. leave it covered for 2 mins.
