For 5 adults, you’ll want to use 2.5 cups of raw rice. Here is the adjusted blueprint for a crowd-pleasing Vegetable Pulao.

🛒 Scaled Ingredients (Serves 5)
The Bulk
Basmati Rice: 2.5 cups (approx. 500g)
Water: 4.5 cups (for pot cooking) or 4 cups (for pressure cooker)
Ghee/Oil: 4 tbsp
The Aromatics
Onions: 2 medium, thinly sliced
Ginger-Garlic Paste: 1.5 tbsp
Green Chilies: 3–4, slit length-wise
Whole Spices: 2 bay leaves, 2-inch cinnamon, 5 cloves, 4 cardamoms, 1.5 tsp cumin seeds.

The Veggie Mix (Approx. 3-4 cups total)
Carrots: 2 medium, diced
French Beans: 10-12, chopped
Green Peas: 1/2 cup (fresh or frozen)
Potato: 1 large, cubed small
Optional: 1/2 cup Paneer cubes or Fried Cashews for extra flair.

👩‍🍳 The Step-by-Step
1. Prep the Rice
Wash the 2.5 cups of rice 3–4 times until the water is no longer cloudy. Soak it for exactly 20–30 minutes. This is the secret to long, elegant grains.

2. The Sauté
In a large pot or a 5-liter pressure cooker, heat the ghee. Add the whole spices. Once they crackle, add the onions and sauté until they are soft and golden (not dark brown). Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and chilies until the raw smell vanishes.

3. Veggie Party
Add all your chopped vegetables. Sauté them on medium-high heat for about 3–4 minutes. This "seals" the veggies so they don't turn into mush while the rice cooks.

4. The Gentle Mix
Drain the rice completely and add it to the pot. Stir very gently for 2 minutes to toast the grains.
5. The Cook
In a Pot: Add 4.5 cups of hot water and salt. Bring to a rolling boil. Cover with a very tight lid (you can even put a heavy weight on top). Lower the heat to the absolute minimum and cook for 12–15 minutes.
In a Pressure Cooker: Add 4 cups of water. Close the lid and cook for 2 whistles on medium heat.
6. The Rest (Crucial!)
Switch off the heat and do not touch it for 15 minutes. This allows the steam to finish cooking the core of the grain and ensures the rice doesn't break when you serve it.
