I have posted several flavoured vegetable rice recipes, but this has to be one of the loaded pulao recipes. Basically, this recipe is capsicum and potato vegetable flavoured pulao but contains herbs, coconut grate, garlic and ginger. With all these combinations, it makes one of the flavoured pulao recipes. Moreover, it is prepared in a pressure cooker which makes it even easier to prepare. Basically, all the vegetables, rice and masala are added to the pressure cooker and the pulao is prepared in 2 whistles.

Furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the capsicum rice bath recipe. Firstly, I have prepared this rice pulao recipe with sona masuri which is the perfect choice for this pulao. However, you may also try this recipe with basmati rice or any long grain rice and it should taste equally good. Secondly, the flavoured bath is always served with a choice of spicy coconut chutney and curd raita, but that is not mandatory. Perhaps, you can also serve it with any spicy curry, rasam, dal or even sambar. Lastly, the rice and water proportion used for this recipe are specific to sona masuri rice. If you are planning to use basmati, you may have to reduce the water quantity by a 1:2 ratio.
