Traditional Kattuyanam Rice Vegetable Pulao Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup Rigel Spices Kattuyanam Rice
• 3 cups water
• 2 tbsp ghee or cooking oil
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 cloves
• 2 cardamom pods
• 1 onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
• ½ cup carrots (diced)
• ¼ cup green peas
• ¼ cup beans (chopped)
• 1 small potato (optional, diced)
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander and mint leaves for garnish

Preparation Method

Step 1 – Soak the Rice

Wash the Kattuyanam Rice thoroughly and soak it in water for about 45–60 minutes. This helps soften the grains and ensures even cooking.

Step 2 – Prepare the Base

Heat ghee or cooking oil in a pressure cooker or deep pan. Add bay leaf, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom. Sauté until they release a pleasant aroma.

Step 3 – Cook the Vegetables

Add sliced onions and ginger-garlic paste. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown. Add carrots, beans, green peas, and potatoes. Cook for about 4–5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

Step 4 – Cook the Rice

Drain the soaked Kattuyanam Rice and add it to the vegetables. Mix gently. Pour in 3 cups of water, add salt to taste, and cook until the rice becomes soft and fluffy, and all the water is absorbed. (Pressure cook for 3–4 whistles or cook in a covered pan until done.)

Step 5 – Garnish & Serve

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and mint leaves. Serve hot with raita, pickle, vegetable kurma, or dal for a wholesome and traditional meal.
