In this version, I added a twist with Pandan leaves, which infused a subtle, earthy-coconut aroma into the dish, making it uniquely fragrant and irresistibly delicious.<\/p>\n<p>For this version, I used sella rice, which holds its texture beautifully, giving the pulao a lovely, fluffy consistency. Sella rice is parboiled rice, a popular choice in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines for its distinct texture and ability to stay separate and fluffy when cooked. It&#8217;s great for making pulao &amp; biryani.<\/p>\n<p>In the Instant Pot, sella rice has to be pressure cooked for 10 minutes at high pressure. The rice will turn fluffy &amp; awesome.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Pandan Leaves?<\/h3>\n<p>Pandan leaves, often used in Southeast Asian cooking, bring a delicate earthy &amp; coconut note that pairs beautifully with the spices in pulao. It\u2019s a subtle addition, but one that makes this pulao stand out as something special.<\/p>\n<p>In Asian cuisine, Pandan leaves are added to curries, pulao &amp; biryani.<\/p>\n<p>This vegetable pulao made with sella rice and pandan leaves is ideal for a light lunch or a side for a more elaborate dinner. Pair it with raita, pickle, or your favourite curry for a satisfying meal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-32861\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Instant-pot-15-minute-veg-pulao-with-pandan-leaves-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Instant-pot-15-minute-veg-pulao-with-pandan-leaves-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Instant-pot-15-minute-veg-pulao-with-pandan-leaves-267x200.jpg 267w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Instant-pot-15-minute-veg-pulao-with-pandan-leaves-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Instant-pot-15-minute-veg-pulao-with-pandan-leaves-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Instant-pot-15-minute-veg-pulao-with-pandan-leaves.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Instant-pot-veg-pulao-recipe-with-sella-rice-600x200.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Instant Pot 15 Minute Vegetable Pulao With Pandan Leaves<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT15M\">15 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT20M\">20 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">5 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole cardamoms- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole cloves- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole cinnamon- 2-inch slice<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Star Anise- 1<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Dried bay leaves- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mixed veggies- 1 1\/2 cups (green beans, carrot, corn, peas)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Kashmiri chili powder- 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/8 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coriander powder-2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cumin powder- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut milk, light- 2 1\/2 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Pandan leaf- 1 leaf, roughly chopped<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Sella rice, rinsed- 2 cups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">I used sella rice for making this pulao, take 2 cups of rice in a strainer &amp; rinse in water.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">I didn&#8217;t soak the rice, if you prefer rice can be soaked in water for 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Turn on the saute setting in the Instant Pot, set the temperature to medium.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Let the pot turn hot.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">To the stainless steel pot, add oil, followed by whole aromatic spices, saute for a few seconds.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add mixed veggies, combine well.
