1. Soak Basmathi Rice for atleast 10 minutes.Slice onions and other veggies lengthwise.Keep few onions aside for garnishing.Slit green chillies length wise and keep it aside.

5. Now add peas and other veggies with little salt and garam masala and fry for a minute.Garam Masala can be added more according to your taste.
6. Now add the rice,required amount of salt for the rice(remember that already salt has been added to veggies),water to the pressure cooker.Keep upto 3 whistles and remove from stove after switching off the flame.
7. I have not garnished it.But you can deep fry the remaining onions in 1/2 tablespoon of ghee and garnish it if you wish.

          I served it with onion raitha.
