Tarkari Pulao ~ InstaPot Version
Vegetable Pulao is my all time avenue to go when i need comfort and spicy food in a jiffy! Now with Instant Pot this becomes even quicker! :-) One fine day when the weather turned out good and cooler ( 90 in DFW ;-)) during summer hot days + when my vegetable garden gave one vegetable of each kind, then this Tarkari Pulao happened in my kitchen under 15 min! The name sounds fancy but 'Tarkari' in Hindi means Vegetable, so it basically is Vegetable Pulao, but I added variety of veggies today including Greens that I got from my garden and made this in IP, that is done under 15 min. Here is the recipe for you, enjoy!
Ingredients:
Basmati Rice - 2 cups (I use Zafrani Brand, available in Costco)
Onion - 1 medium
Green Chili - 2 ( long ones, that are not very spicy)
Potato - 3 (small round ones)

Bay leave - 2
Oil - 2 Tbsp

Notes:
- I have used my 3Qt mini to make this recipe, the same settings and time should work for any version of IP.
- This recipe yields 3 to 4 servings, you can easily double or multiply ingredients to make big batch for larger crowds.
