VEGETABLE PULAO

This is a very simple pulao that I learnt from one of my friends.Whenever I feel like having a one pot meal but still lazy enough to make biriyani, I prepare this vegetable pulao in pressure cooker.It is quite easy to prepare with handy ingredients and goes well with paneer side dishes or just with plain raita.
