Notes

  • You can substitute the vegetables as per availability, I used most common vegetables.
  • I used regular pressure cooker mode on Instant Pot. If you wish you can use preset Rice cooking on Instant Pot.
  • Instead of using white basmati rice you can use brown Basmati rice for making pulao.
