Recipe of the Day. Week No.88 : "Aromatic Desi Vegetable Rice"

I hope my buddies of iron chefs having an amazing day just like me. Today I am feeling energetic and excited. I hope you all buddies enjoying the last month of the year. My thanks to @crismenia ma'am for arranging the wonderful Recipe Of The Day Contest. I am @aliraza1234 from Pakistan. I am excited to share recipe of rice. So let’s begin buddies.

The Ingredients :

Sr	Ingredients
1	Peas Two Cups
2	Potato Four Medium
3	Cumin Seeds One Tablespoon
4	Onions Three Medium
5	Red Chilli Flakes One Tablespoon
6	Salt One Teaspoon Or As Need
7	Cinnamon
8	Tomatoes Two Medium
9	Garlic Paste
10	Green Chillies Chopped
11	Rice One Bowl

Step 1:

So I started making the rice. I took a pan added ghee. Then heated it on the stove. When the ghee was slightly warm. I added the onions. I mixed them well. I fried the onions until turned golden brown. When they were golden brown. I added cumin (jeera) to it.

Step 2:

Then I added cinnamon (darchini) along with it. Then after that I added a bit of water. Because if you do not add the water then the onions can burn too much. Then I added garlic paste. I also added the chopped green chilies. Then mixed everything well.

Step 3:

Then I fried the mixture well. After that I added potatoes (aalu) and peas (matar). I fried them really well with the mix. Then I added the spices - red chili, salt... and also added sliced tomatoes.

Step 4:

Then I made it like a paste like mixture like in Punjabi style veggies. I fried it for like 5 minutes. It was smelling so good. The frying step is super important gotta do it right. After frying it well. I added water according to my rice needs.

Step 5:

Then I covered the pan with a lid after adding water. Meanwhile, I got the rice going. I soaked the rice for like two minutes because by then the water was supposed to boil. So when the water started boiling. I added the rice.

Step 6:

Then I mixed the rice for once. Then let it be for a bit. After a while I mixed it again to make sure it was not sticking to the bottom. The water was slowly getting absorbed like that... Meanwhile I tasted the spices to check if anything was missing. But everything was good. So I didn't add anything extra.

Step 7:

Soon the rice water was completely dry. It was time to let it steam (dam). So I put the rice on low heat (dam) for like 10-11 minutes. And after that time my rice was cooked and ready.
