📝 Instructions

14 steps

1. Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 20 minutes, then drain and set aside.

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.

3. Add cumin seeds, bay leaf, cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, and black peppercorns. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Add the sliced onion and sauté until golden brown.

5. Mix in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute until the raw smell disappears.

6. Add the diced tomato and cook until it softens, about 3-4 minutes.

7. Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.

8. Add the diced vegetables (carrot, potato, green beans, and green peas) and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes.

9. Add the soaked and drained rice to the pan. Gently mix to coat the rice with the spices and vegetables.

10. Pour in 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.

11. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.

12. Turn off the heat and let the Tehri rest, covered, for 5 minutes.

13. Fluff the rice gently with a fork and garnish with chopped cilantro and slit green chilies.

14. Serve hot with yogurt or a fresh salad on the side.
