Coconut milk rice

Soak Basmati Rice [2cups] for 30minutes. 

Take coconut milk - 2 extracts

• First Thick extract - I used coconut pieces [1/2cup] and warm water [2cups]
• Second Thin extract - Same pieces with warm water [1cup]

Heat oil [4tbs] in a pressure pan.

Saute whole garam spices - cloves [4], fennel seeds [1tsp], bay leaves [2] and cardamom [1]. 

Fry sliced onions [2], slit green chillies [4 long ones] for a minute and ginger garlic paste [1tbs] till the raw smell goes off. 

Add finely chopped vegetables [add as per your paste], garam masala powder [1/3tsp] and salt. 

Fry for 2minutes and then add soaked rice. Fry for another 2minutes - the rice must be well coated with oil. 

Add coconut milk - both the thick and thin extracts [3cups]. Adjust salt. 

Pressure cook for 2whistles.
