Ingredients
- 300 g rice
- 240 g chickpeas
- 50 ml oil
- 1 onion
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp black peppercorn
- 5-6 cloves
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tsp garlic paste
- 1 tsp ginger paste
- 2 green chillies
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 600 ml water
Instructions
- Wash the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in enough water for about 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves, and cinnamon sticks. Sauté for a minute or until fragrant.
- Add garlic paste, ginger paste, and chopped green chilies. Sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
- Add finely chopped onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6-8 minutes or until the onions turn golden brown.
- Now, add chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften and release their juices.
- Stir in salt and coriander powder, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spices are well combined with the onion-tomato mixture.
- Add the drained chickpeas to the pan and mix well. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Pour in the water and bring it to a gentle boil. Once the water starts boiling, add the soaked and drained rice to the pan. Mix gently to combine all the ingredients.
- Cook the rice on high heat for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until about 80% of the water is absorbed.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, and let the rice cook for another 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let the Chana Pulao sit, covered, for another 5 minutes to allow the steam to finish cooking the rice.
- Fluff the pulao gently with a fork and transfer it to a serving dish.
- Serve hot with yogurt, raita, or your favorite curry. Enjoy your flavorful and aromatic Chana Pulao!
Notes
- The more you cook the onions, the darker your rice will be
