Simple bengali pulao!!!

Basmati Rice: 4 cups
Onions: 2 medium size
Ginger garlic paste: 3 tblspns
Kaju(Cashew  nut)
Kishmish(Raisins)
Home made garam masala
Tej pata (Bayleaf)
Salt
Sugar
Ghee

Procedure:

•  Soak the rice for half an hour
• Cut the onions very finely
• Heat 3 tbspoons ghee and add bay leaf
• Add onions and fry till it becomes translucent 
• Add ginger garlic paste. it tastes really good if you use freshly grinded ginger garlic paste
• Add salt and sugar as per your taste. I add sugar just for name sake as my husband doesn't like
• Add kaju and kishmish
• Meanwhile drain the soaked rice and dry it.
• Add the rice into the pan and fry it as well.
• Add 7 cups of water for 4 cups rice. If you are making in a vessel add gradually. In case of pressure cooker no options left you have to add it.

This is the simple bengali pulao recipe which you can have with mangsho. 

Will wait for your comments!!!
