VEGETABLE STEAMED RICE !!!!!


VEG STEAMED RICE is a Chinese dish. Actually i didn't followed authentic recipe here. I first tasted veg. steam rice at my most favourite restura DOLLOPS, Manipal. My sisters bil ordered it & i am just fida over it after tasting. & tried it there after so many times at Dollops. But every time i felt it is very easy to make at home. & one day finally i decided to prepare it at home. & it tasted almost similar to Hotel Dollops veg steam rice. I tried it by adding pepper pow & without pepper pow & liked without pepper powder very much. I added pepper powder in the pic above i posted. Will post another pic too without pepper powder later.

INGREDIENTS:-

white rice - 1 cup
onion, chopped into cubes - 1 big
capsicum, chopped into cubes - 1
carrot, chopped into rounds - 1
Cauliflower florets - 10
water - 1 1/2 cup (use the vegetable stock too+water...totally it should be 1 1/2 cups)
cornflour - 2 tbsp
salt to taste
pepper pow to taste (optional)

METHOD:-

1. Cook vegetables (don't over cook it) & don't throw the water.
2. Wash & cook rice in pressure cooker, rice cooker or directly on flame. I followed  pressure cooker method. Put 1 cup washed rice+2 cup water & close the lid & take 2-3 whistles.
3. Now in a nonstick kadai, add vegetable stock+water+cornflour(mix cornflour well in little water & then add it) & bring it to boil till it becomes thick.
4. Now add para boiled vegetables+salt+pepper & bring it to boil.
5. Switch off the stove.
