I tried this vegetable pulao recipe and it turned out great. I added some fried paneer to the vegetables. It added richness to pulao. Accompanied by chilled boondi raita balanced the spices very well. Thank you for sharing this simple and fast cooking pulao recipe.

Can you please tell me what I can use instead of fresh coriander as my husband and I do not like fresh coriander? Thanks.

Can I cook the pulao without any bay leaves, or cloves as I don’t have any of them. I have cinnamon and Elachi but no bay leaves and clove. Can I add some ginger and garlic crushed for flavour, will these additions make a vast difference?
Thanks.
Response: Yes, you can cook pulao without bay leaves or cloves and you can add crushed ginger and garlic. It doesn't make much difference in taste.

Hello
Can you tell me if the chilli powder you refer to is an Indian version (also known as cayenne) or is the blend we Americans buy premade that we also use in meat chili that contains paprika, oregano, cumin, onion powder, etc.
Thanks
Response: Hello Carrie, the Indian version red chilli powder (cayenne) is used in all the recipes on this site. This chilli powder is the ground form of dried red chillies.

Does the second whistle in low flame take a long time. Mine is taking forever and I am getting scared whether it is getting burned.
Response: Hello Veena, it takes a few minutes for second whistle. It might take more time if the bigger pressure cooker is used.

Can this recipe be made in a cast iron Dutch Oven instead of the pressure cooker?
Response: Yes, you can use Cast Iron Dutch Over to Vegetable Pulao in it. We recommend to pre-cook vegetables in steam for this.

The best rice dish ever. A must try.
Dec 25, 2015 by Krishnan
Garam masala already has cinnamon and clove. Why add them again in this recipe in whole form? Also, your recipe doesn't call for the garam masala to be friend with onions. Will this not leave a "raw" taste? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Response: Garam masala has cinnamon and clove but whole cinnamon and clove gives strong flavor to the pulao. No need to fry the garam masala in oil because the masala is be cooked with rice in next steps, so it will not taste raw.

Apr 10, 2015 by Asun
Can't wait to make this recipe, but can you share the cooking time in minutes. I don't quite understand how long is 2 whistles. Sorry.
Response: If you have never used the pressure cooker then I suggest you to follow the instructions completely (like amount of water and cooking over medium flame) and do not change any ingredient ratio. Two whistles means when two times pressure cooker whistles completed. You can also cook it in a pan, follow the same method and cook it for 10-12 minutes over low flame in covered pan or until rice is cooked (for detailed direction to cook pulao in a pan follow this recipe of palak pulao).

Simply superb and excellent pulao. Thanks for the recipe.
Mar 07, 2015 by Anjali Sreejith
First time when I cooked it was awesome and my husband loved it. Second time, rice got sticky. How did it happen?
Response: Hi Anjali, follow the given tips to make non-sticky rice.
1. Always use basmati rice for pulao.
2. Wash the rice at least 3-4 times or until water is clear.
3. Do not add more water. For 1/2 cup rice use 1 cup water or follow the instructions given on the backside of rice package to get water amount.
4. Do not cook it for longer period because we have already soaked the rice.
5. Do not forget to stir fry the rice for around 2-minutes in step-6.
