This can be called Instant Pulav..because, once you have things ready, it is exactly a 5 minute affair...so easy and yet tasty...
This is so easy in the sense, there is no grinding job...
I have made this frequently for my children during their school and college days...feel so nostalgic....

Notes
* So easy to make this kind of pulav, when some unexpected guest turns in. As you cut the veggies, you can allow the rice to soak till then...that's all...all you have to do it, dump everything into the cooker, in steps mentioned above , and cook for 2 whistles...isn't it so easy???
