Quick mixed Vegetable Pulao

Pulao or pulav is one of the most common rice dishes that is often made in most Indian homes. It is also the one most commonly on the menu for parties or celebrations served along with a yogurt raita. I used a pressure cooker to make this delicious pulao

This is the evergreen menu in my dinner.I add different vegetables every time.Some times with onions, sometimes without onions ,with mix vegetables ,with potatoes,peas and even beans.

The best thing about pulav is that is most pulav recipes, we add veggies so pulav are healthy and complete meal in itself .
I made it with available veggies.Our all time favorite dish.
My daughters enjoyed it with piri piri seasoning .
