This mixed vegetable with chicken pulao needs hardly very less time and get ready very quickly when compared to briyanis or any other non vegetarian gravy, wat all we need is cooked basmati rice with coconut milk spiced with green chilies and sauteed with mixed veggies along with marinated chicken chunks. This dish doesn’t yet need side dish to take pleasure in and suits completely as a lunch box menu or for a party menu, we enjoyed it with carrot raita and we loved it.

2cups Basmati rice

2cups Mixed veggies (carrots, beans, peas, cabbage, capsicum)

1/2cup Chicken (boneless & chopped)

Few coriander leaves

To Grind:

1/2cup Grated coconut

2nos Green chilies

Procedure:

Grind the coconut and green chilies with a cup of Luke warm water and strain this spiced coconut milk (usually i go for 1+1/2cups of water for cooking basmati rice, make spiced coconut milk as 3cups by adding enough water)..Keep aside. Now marinate the chopped chicken chunks with Soya sauce, red chilly powder, pepper powder and salt and keep aside for half an hour. Wash and soak the basmati rice with already prepared spiced coconut milk for 15 minutes, finally cook the rice in a rice cooker...

Heat a heavy bottomed pan with enough oil, fry the bay leaves, cinnamon stick and cloves. Add the chopped onions and grated ginger, sauté for few minutes.
