But still I want to list this out in my blog as well. its like saying, no food without pickle, no blog without palav ;) Enjoy.. Let me know how it was or any ingredients to be added.. 

 

INGREDIENTS

Vegetables to be cut/chopped - Big Onion-1,Beans, tomato, potatoes, carrot - 1 cup full each, peas 1 and half cup (Cauli flower could also be added, but I don't like it in palav much)

COOKING

To a hot pan, add oil, broken cinnamon sticks, pepper corns, cloves, Marati Moggu, cumin seeds and funnel seeds. saute for 5 minutes. 

Add green chilies and all chopped vegetables and fry for 10 min. (I prefer adding raw/uncooked vegetables because, it will be cooked along with rice.)

Add garlic and ginger so that it mixes well with vegetables

Basamati rice is very good for palav. Add 1 cup of Basmati rice and fry until rice becomes smooth. 

Add 2 cups of water and bring it to boil. Close the pressure cooker and allow for 2 whistles. 

Can be served hot with raitha.. It’s delicious!!!
