I tried this pilaf recipe , the OPOS way.Amember had shared this recipe in the OPOS support group on facebook. I changed it a little as I did not have peas & replaced peas with beans. I added cumin or jeera instead of fennel or saunf .Used green chillies & ginger instead of red chillies.
Ingredients : 2 cups shredded cabbage ( in original recipe, this was 1.5 cups ), 1/3 cup chopped & stringed beans ( in original recipe , this was 0.5 cup peas ) , 1-2 green chillies roughly chopped, 1/2 tsp garam masala powder, 1/4 inch cinnamon, 1 bay leaf, 1 badi elaichi, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1 tbsp oil, 1.5 tsp salt ( in original recipe , Himalayan salt used ), 1/4 cup fresh dhania or mint ( optional ) .
Method : Wash & soak raice for 30-45 minutes. Drain after 30-45 minutes.Keep aside.
Mix cabbage, beans, green chillies & the garam masala powder , turmeric & salt together .Keep aside.
In a 2 litre pressure cooker, add 1 tbsp oil.This is the first layer.
Add bay leaf, cinnamon stick, badi elaichi & jeera. This is the second layer.
Add soaked & drained rice on top of the spices. This rice forms the third layer.
On the top of rice , add the cabbage- beans green chillies masala salt mix kept aside. This is the fourth layer. .
Add 1 cup water from sides...meaning pour one cup water from the sides of the cooker inside. Pressure cook for 3 whistles. Put off gas. Allow pressure to settle. Remove lid of cooker. Add mint or dhania .Mix dhania or mint with pulao. Put on lid again. Let it settle for 10 minutes more. Serve with raita or papad.
This rice tasted superb ! My husband kept on having it again & again !!!! Each grain was separate.

Excellent read, I just passed this into a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that.
