Blog Name : Saisuprabaatham Hotel

Ingredients:  

Basmati Rice – 1 cup (Soaked and drained)
Milk – 1 cup
Water – 1 cup
Saffron – 1/8 tsp
Ghee / Oil – 2 tbsp (I used ghee)
Cinnamon – 1/2 piece
Cloves – 2
Fennel Seed powder – 1/4 tsp
Cardamom – 2 pods
Grapes – 1/2 cup
Pomegranate – 1/4 cup
Nuts – 1/2 cup (Almonds, Cashews and Walnuts)
Raisins – 2 tbsp
Salt – as needed
Sugar – 1/4 tsp (Optional)

Method:

1. Soak saffron in milk for 10 minutes
2. Add 1 tbsp ghee to the pan. When its hot, add whole spices (Cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and fennel
seeds) and saute for minute. Add rice and saute for 1-2 minutes
3. Add milk, water, saffron and salt, and close the lid. Switch off after the rice is cooked
4. Spread the rice in a wide pan and set aside
5. Add ghee to the pan, once the ghee is hot add the nuts and saute till they are crunchy.
6. Add raisin at the end as they cook soon.
7. Add fruits and nuts to the rice pan after rice is cooled (Adding fruits when is rice is hot makes the pulao
watery) and gently mix. Easy and yummy pulao is ready:-)
8. Serve it with any gravy. We had with Malai Kofta.

Tips:

* Add fruits of your choice. Apple, pineapple, grapes,pomegranate etc. can be added
* Instead of using whole spices, you can also use garam masala
* Instead of cooking rice directly, you can also pressure cook or use slow cooker
