  • Into it add whole garam masala such as cloves, cardamoms, cinnamon stick, shahizeera, bay leaf and saute for few seconds.
  • Add the sliced onions and saute them well.
  • Cook the onions until they turn slight golden brown color.
  • Add the ginger garlic paste and saute them for few minutes on low flame to get rid of the raw flame.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and cook them until they turn soft.
  • Add the mint leaves, coriander leaves, slit green chillies and mix well.
  • Add beaten yogurt into it, add dry spices such as salt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder.

  • Add lemon extract into the water, check for salt and add if required.
  • Bring the water to a boil.
  • Add the soaked rice into the boiling water and mix well.
  • Allow the rice to cook without covering the lid on medium flame.
  • Give a stir in between.
  • When the water starts getting absorbed, reduce the flame.
  • Cover the lid of the cooking pot.
  • If the lid has a hole close it with a clove or atta dough.
  • Place a tawa beneath the cooking vessel in order to avoid the rice burning at the bottom.
  • Cook on low flame until the rice is completely done and cooked well.
  • Switch off the flame.
  • Egg pulao is ready.
  • Serve hot with raita.

Making quick raita:

  • Add ½ cup beaten yogurt into a bowl.
  • Add salt, a pinch of ginger garlic paste, mix well.
  • Add very finely chopped onions.
  • Add finely chopped mint leaves, finely chopped coriander leaves.
  • Mix everything well.
  • Serve hot egg pulao with raita.

Notes

  • The quantity of the rice to water here should be 1:2 that is if 1 cup rice is added then 2 cups of water is required if making pulao in a slow cooking method.
  • If making egg pulao in pressure cooker, then just add 1.5 cup of water to 1 cup of rice and pressure cook for two whistles...
