On new year's day, I made carrot halwa, chappathi and chole for lunch. The post is not going to be about that. It is going to be about the day after new year's. It is about January 2nd, the Saturday. I got up in the morning..yeah i did..actually i had to...coz i have to say thirupaavai. The morning seemed like any other morning and I just did not feel like cooking the routiene things and so i made vegetable pulao, raita and stuffed capsicum (Or stuffed pepper..however you want to call it..frankly I prefer capsicum coz it sounds good)..
Vegetable Pulao
Well I do not follow a fixed recipe..I use whatever my hand finds in the fridge and whatever i find in my kitchen shelf and it always turn out good. The tip for you would be not to hide in my fridge on pulao day. In any case, I will give the recipe of jan 2nd vegetable pulao that I made.
Ingredients -
Carrot - 1
Beans - few
Potato - 1
Capsicum - 1
Ginger - small qty
Cinnamon - 2 sticks
Cloves - 3
Jeera - 1 spoon
Green chillies - 2
Red chilly - 1 spoon
Turmeric - 1/2 spoon
Rice - 3/4 Cup
Ghee - 1 spoon
Method
1) Chop the vegetables into small pieces.
2) In the pressure cooker, add a spoon of ghee and then add green chillies, jeera, cinnamon, cloves
3) Add the Vegetables, rice and water and after 3 whistles you are done.
Now the tricky part was to convince my husband that I have made stuffed capsicum before and I am an ace at that. Once that part was done, I started the preparation of making stuffed capsicum for the very first time. I selected four red capsicums and two orange capsicums.
OOPS I started writing this two years back (01/02/2011) and now i dont remember what I did!!
