How to make Sindhi Pulao Recipe
To begin making the Sindhi Pulao Recipe, take the cleaned and washed rice in a large bowl, cover it completely with water and soak it for at least 10-15 minutes. Drain the water and keep aside.
Next, heat oil or ghee in a pressure cooker, add the onions, a pinch of salt and fry the onions till they become golden brown in colour. Make sure you saute the onions on low heat, else they will brown too quickly and wont get caramelized.
Once the onions are caramelized, add the green chilies, cumin seeds, bay leaves, cinnamon and tomato to the onions and sauté them for another 2 minutes until the tomatoes have become soft.
Stir in the rice to the spices and salt to taste in the cooker and add 3-1/2 cups of water. Cover the lid of the pressure cooker, place the weight on and cook the rice until you hear one whistle.
After the first whistle, turn the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes and turn off the heat.
Allow the pressure cooker to rest, so the pressure released naturally on its own. This takes about 10 minutes. Once the pressure has released open the cooker and fluff the rice with a fork.
The delicious and fragrant Sindhi Pilaf with Caramelised Onions, is ready to be served.
Serve Sindhi Pulao Recipe along with Sai Bhaji and Lauki Raita for a weekday meal. You can also pack this meal in your Lunch Box.
