Soybean and Carrot Pilaf

Hello Friends! Today I am not in a mood to write much. Just want to say this a very healthy pilaf which incorporates the health benefits of both Soy and the carrots. I have explained in detail the health benefits of Soybean in Soybean and Rice adai. It’s a simple to make and flavourful rice.

1 large onion chopped
3/4 cup soaked  and parboiled Soybeans

Soak the rice for 10 mins. Heat oil+ghee in a pressure cooker pan and add all spices except garam masala and red chili flakes. Now add the garlic followed by chili flakes. Immediately add onions and saute. Now add the Soybeans and saute for few mins. Add the grated carrots and mix. Add salt to taste, turmeric, chili pwd and rice. Mix and fry in oil for 2 mins .
