After lots of hassle passle in my life due to shift from B’lore, things seems to be settling down now and this my first post for Blog Hop Wednesday from our new home in Delhi, with Anu Shoj as my partner for this week… I chose Vegetable Rice from her blog as that’s my favourite and also I haven’t cook it since long so why not cook it today with a little variation to Anu’s post….

Salt: to taste Oil: 3-4 Tbsp Cumin Seeds: 1/4 Tsp Red Chilly Pwdr: to taste Garam Masala Pwdr: 1/2 Tsp Dry Mango Pwdr: 1/2 Tsp Chaat Masala: 1/2 Tsp

METHOD:-

• Boil 4 Cups of water, salt to it and taste it should e as per your taste then add Rice and boil ( take care not to over cook rice as it will make it mushy).
• Drain the water and spread it lightly with fork.
• Chop all the veggies in equal size.
• Heat oil in a pan add cumin seeds, when it crackles add  onion, cauliflower, Peas, carrot , salt and cook it on slow flame but don’t make it soggy let the crunch remain….
