Mixed Vegetable Rice

Vegetable rice is a fascinating and flavored rice with fine veggie like carrot, potato, peas, corn etc.  I am a very big fan of mixed rice like tamarind rice, coconut rice, lemon rice, pulao’s etc. yesterday I was thinking of preparing this kind of recipe. Pre preparation is the must for all the rice recipes, If we miss a single ingredients the taste changes, hope everyone will agree with this.

                   Here for this vegetable rice I omitted garam masala. Cos if garam masala is added then it will change to biriyani type. Here we go in to the recipe and lets all enjoy the flavor of vegetables.
