Preparing the Spices and Aromatics

Combining and Cooking
- Add the diced potatoes, green peas, and sliced carrots. Cover and cook for 2 minutes on low heat to slightly soften the vegetables.
Adding Rice and Water

Pressure Cooking
- Secure the lid of the pressure cooker and cook on high heat until 3 whistles. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes after the whistles stop. Allow the pressure to release naturally.
Serving
- Once the pressure is released, fluff the rice gently with a fork. Serve hot with your choice of accompaniments like raita (yogurt dip), papad (thin crispy lentil wafers), or a side of curd (yogurt).
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Veg Batata Taheri
- For extra flavor, toast the whole spices lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the oil.
- Soaking the basmati rice for 30 minutes before cooking will help it cook more evenly and become fluffier.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of ghee (clarified butter) along with the oil.
