Step 1: Boil and Fry the Eggs
First, we have boiled **6 eggs**. We peeled them and kept them aside. You can adjust the number of eggs as per your requirement. Now, we will fry them.
In a pan, add
1)1 tablespoon of oil**
2) a pinch of **turmeric powder**,
3) a little **red chili powder**.
4) After mixing it, add the boiled eggs.
Fry the eggs for 2-3 minutes, turning them gently so they are lightly browned. After frying, remove them from the pan and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Spice Mix
In a jar, add:
1) 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds
2) 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds (coarsely ground)
3) 1/2 teaspoon of black peppercorns
Grind these spices into a powder and set them aside. This spice mix will give a wonderful flavor to the pulao.
Step 3: Cooking the Base
In a pot, add **3-4 tablespoons of oil**. Once the oil is heated, add **2 medium-sized sliced onions**. Fry the onions until they turn golden brown.
Once the onions are golden, remove **half of the onions** and set them aside for later use. You don’t want the onions too dark, as the color of the pulao depends on the onions.
Step 4: Add Whole Spices
Now, add the whole spices:
1) 2 bay leaves
2) 1/2 nutmeg flower (mace)
3) 3 green cardamoms
4) 1 large cardamom
5) 4 cloves
6) 1 cinnamon stick
7) 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
8) 12-15 black peppercorns
Sauté the whole spices for a minute until you get a nice fragrance from them. Then add **2 teaspoons of ginger-garlic paste** and sauté well.
Step 5: Add Tomatoes and Green Chilies
Add **2 medium-sized chopped tomatoes** and **5-6 crushed green chilies** (you can adjust the number based on your spice preference). Stir everything well and cook until the tomatoes turn soft and mushy.
Now, add **1/2 teaspoon of salt** and mix thoroughly.
Step 6: Add Mint and Yogurt
Add **6-7 mint leaves** and **4-5 tablespoons of yogurt**. Mix everything well. Adding yogurt makes the pulao flavorful and creamy.
Step 7: Add the Prepared Spice Mix
Add the freshly ground spice mix we made earlier to the pot and stir well. Let the spices cook with the tomatoes and yogurt for 2-3 minutes.
Step 8: Add Water and Rice
Now, add **double the quantity of water** in relation to the rice. For **500g of rice**, add **1 liter of water**. Bring the water to a boil, then add the washed and soaked rice. I have soaked **Basmati rice** for **30 minutes**.
Check the salt and adjust if needed. Bring the water to a boil, cover the pot, and let it cook for 7-8 minutes on **high flame** until most of the water evaporates.
Step 9: Add the Fried Eggs and Mint
Once the water is almost absorbed, add the fried eggs to the rice, followed by **7-8 mint leaves** (and coriander if you like). Add the fried onions that were set aside earlier.
Step 10: Steam the Pulao
Cover the pot with a cloth, then put the lid on top, folding the corners of the cloth to seal it. Let the pulao cook on **low flame** for **7-8 minutes**. After that, turn off the gas and let it sit for another **15 minutes** without opening the lid.
Step 11: Serve
After the pulao is steamed, gently fluff it with a spoon. You will notice how fluffy and beautifully separated the rice is. The aroma of the spices is incredible, and the texture is perfect.
