Procedure:

  1. Wash and soak the rice in warm water for 5 minutes.
  2. Add ghee to a kadai and saute the green chilly+garlic+ginger paste.
  3. Add the soaked rice after draining the water to this when the raw smell of the paste vanishes.
  4. Add the shallots,carrot,potato,beans one after the other and saute well.
  5. Add salt and turmeric powder.
  6. Cook in pressure cooker with coconut milk for 3 whistles
  7. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.

My Observations:

Instead of seeraga samba rice ,you can add basmati rice too.

Adjust the amount of green chilly to your taste.

Cut the vegetables as cubes to give a better look.

You can also add cauliflower,broccoli.

Serve it with any raitha or manchurian.
