Wash and soak rice for about 15-20 minutes. Also, wash Mushrooms and Broccoli and cut Mushroom in half or as per the size. No need to cut small mushrooms.
1 Cup Basmati Rice, 7-8 Button Mushrooms, ½ cup Broccoli florets
Make paste of garlic ginger and green chilli.
Ginger small piece(around 1/2"), 2-3 Garlic Cloves, 1-2 Green Chillies or as required
In a bowl add yogurt, coriander powder, garam masala, red chilli powder.
½ Cup Yogurt/Dahi/Curd, 1½ tsp Coriander Powder, 2 tsp Garam Masala
Add the chopped mushrooms and broccoli florets in dahi/yogurt. If you have some green chutney handy then add a tbsp to it. It will enhance the flavour.
Switch on the Instant Pot. Set on Sauté Mode and add oil to the inner pot. Set the timer for 10 minutes.
2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
Add oil when the screen displays 'Hot' add the whole spices along with cumin.
½ tsp Cumin Seeds, 1 Bay Leaf, 1 Star Anise, 4-5 Peppercorns, 4-5 Cloves, 1 Cinnamon stick (small)
Add Ginger-garlic and chilli paste and saute till the raw smell of garlic goes away. Add onions and sauté onions till light pink. You can keep the heat to medium.
½ Cup Roughly chopped onions
If garlic is sticking to the base of inner pot, add 1-2 tbsp of water else masala will stick to the bottom and start to burn.
Now add marinade.
Add the rest of coriander powder, garam masala , red chilli powder(as per your taste). You can skip red chilli powder if adding green chiilies in ginger garlic paste.
Cook for 1 min.
Drain water from rice and add to masala.
Finally add salt and water just enough to soak rice. Do not add too much water as mushrooms also leave some water while being cooked.
Salt to taste
Finally, cancel the Sauté mode. seal the cover on top, and switch on the PRESSURE COOK mode on low. The pulao burns sometimes at the base of inner pot so I keep the pressure to low. Set the timer for 4-5 minutes depending the type of rice you use,
Once the timer goes of wait for 5 mins and then release the pressure manually and check the pulao.
Top it with some butter and serve hot with mint raita or yogurt. I love it with cilantro and green chutney also.
