Green Pulao

Monday, July 4, 2011

My kids love pulaos.  They are very colourful and you can make them in a variety of ways to keep it fresh and exciting. It is also a good way for moms to get the kids to eat vegetables they normally don't (Please don't tell my kids that). So this is for the moms of those kids who are fussy about eating broccoli. I pureed them, so as to hide them and also to get a greenish tint to the rice. You can use more broccoli, if you have, but used only half a cup as I had only that much in hand. The more you add, the more deep and pretty the colour gets. Also you can use spinach instead of broccoli.


Difficulty level: Easy
Preparation time: 10 min
Cooking time: 15 min
Makes: 3-4 toddler servings

Ingredients:


Basmati rice: 1 cup, soaked in salt water for 10 min
Broccoli: 1/2 cup, cooked and pureed
Corn kernels: 1/2cup, cooked
Ghee/ butter: 3 tbsp
Hot water:1 1/2 cup
Salt to taste

Heat 2 tbsp ghee and add the rice. Saute until it turns translucent. Add the hot water and salt. Mix well, cover and cook until the rice is cooked through. Remove the lid, add the cooked corn and pureed broccoli. Mix well and allow excess water to evaporate. Add the last tablespoon ghee, mixing well to get the rice fluffy. Serve warm.
