This is quite late in the night when I am writing this post because I couldn’t resist to write and share it as soon as possible because my family fell absolutely in love with the recipe. 😊
It’s a simple recipe for Vegetable Tehri with coconut milk| Coconut Milk Veg Tahari | Vegetable Pulao with Coconut Milk | Coconut Milk Veg Pulao but extremely healthy and delicious. This is quite a comfort food and a quick recipe which is quite popular in North India especially in UP during a lazy winter day.

I often cook it at my home because it is very healthy and contains the goodness of veggies and wholesomeness of Rice and my family just loves it.
To give a little twist and to add some extra flavour, I added coconut milk instead of water to cook the rice. It tastes really well if made with desi ghee instead of oil and combined with Raita or curd. This is a simple one pot recipe cooked in pressure cooker where potatoes and cauliflower are two key veggies but unfortunately I did not have the latter so skipped that. 😛
