Soak rice in enough water for almost 20 minutes. Cook al dente adding half of salt.
In a pan, heat ghee and add dry red chillies along with mustard and cumin seeds. Let them crackle a bit before adding garlic mince, curry leaves, bay leaves and cinnamon stick.
Saute sliced onions now with ginger garlic mince until translucent. The raw smell of the onions should fade away before adding red chilli flakes and slit green chillies. You can add spices according to your choice.
Finally add the sprouts and stir gently to mix all. Cover and cook just for about 7-8 minutes. Do not cook more than that. The crunch should be retained. And sprouts need not be cooked for a long time. A simple stir fry is more than enough.
After done, add cooked rice and mix well. Do it with very light hands without much pressure. Sprinkle garam masala for that lovely aroma. Serve this yummy pulao as it is or with any gravy or raita of your choice.
A lovely pulao full of essential protiens power packed in it. A super duper comfort food that makes you feel so good. Easy to make with some basic pantry staples, this one is sure to knock you down with it's simple and subtle flavours. Aromatic rice recipe that is a must try one friends. Give it a go.
