AROMATIC PEAS AND CARROT PILAF FOR ONE



Aromatic Peas and Carrot Pilaf for one image

This is my very own, 100% original recipe for an authentic Indian "pulao". The word "pilaf" is distortion of the word "pulao" which simply means a rice dish cooked with veggies and spices. This tastes great with a spicy raita, or with plain yogurt. Using margarine makes this a vegan.

Time 50m

Yield 1 main dish serving, 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 small onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 1/4 teaspoon garlic paste (You can use minced fresh garlic, to your taste)
1/2 teaspoon ghee or 1/2 teaspoon margarine
1/4 cup basmati rice or 1/4 cup long-grain rice
1/4 teaspoon cumin seed
1 bay leaf
1 cinnamon stick
4 -5 peppercorns
4 -5 cloves
1/4 cup carrot, sliced
1/4 cup fresh peas or 1/4 cup frozen peas
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
3/4-1 cup water
pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash the rice well; drain.
  • Melt butter/margarine/ghee in a saucepan over low to medium heat.
  • Saute garlic paste/powder/minced garlic in butter for about 15 seconds, then add the chopped onions and saute until browned, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Add the rice, cumin seeds, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, peppercorns, and cloves to the onion-garlic mixture and saute for 10-15 minutes or until the rice is evenly browned.
  • Now add carrots, peas, salt, and water, stir, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook, without stirring, until the rice is tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Uncover and evaporate excess water if any, remove from flame, and fluff up with a fork.
  • Season with extra salt and pepper, if necessary, and serve hot!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your pilaf will taste. Look for fresh, vibrant vegetables and fragrant spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the rice, make sure to spread it out in an even layer in the pan. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from clumping together.
  • Be patient: Cooking rice takes time. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with mushy rice. Let the rice cook undisturbed until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Fluff the rice: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains. This will make it light and airy.

Conclusion:

This aromatic peas and carrot pilaf is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this pilaf a try. You won't be disappointed!
