Sweet Pulao Indian Pilaf

Sweet Pulao

This is a one-pot dish made using long-grain basmati rice and a combination of aromatics + dried nuts & fruits.

The rice is super fluffy, extremely fragrant, and so delicious. Pair it up with a savory side dish like Aloo Gobi (or Chana Masala) for an amazing dinner/lunch idea.

Let’s go!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Gently wash basmati rice with water (until the water runs clear).
  • Transfer the washed (and drained) rice to a large bowl. Add 2 cups of warm water and let it soak for 30 minutes.
  • *After 30 minutes* Drain and set aside.
  • Set a large (thick-bottomed) pot over medium heat. Add oil.
  • Once it's hot, add bay leaves + cinnamon stick + cloves + black cardamom + green cardamoms. Stir-saute for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  • Next, add almonds + cashews. Stir-saute for 2 minutes. Then add raisins and stir-saute for 30 seconds.
  • Add the rice + green peas + sugar + salt + water. Mix well.
  • Cover the pot and cook over medium heat for 16-18 minutes - or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is done.
  • Turn off the heat. Half-open the lid and allow the pulao to rest for 10 minutes.
  • *After 10 minutes* Gently fluff the pulao using forks. Then mix everything gently using a spatula.
  • Sweet Pulao (Indian Pilaf) is ready. Serve with a savory side dish.
