I like this pulao (in fact had it tonight as part of dinner. I cook it in a rice cooker.

Put couple tablespoons of ghee in rice cooker and turn it on. Put in a stick of cinnamon and 3-4 cloves. PUt in one sliced onion and start it frying. Then just dump in:
1 lg carrot in matchsticks
1 med capsicum remove stem and seeds and cut in pieces or strips
200g paneer in cubes
400g mushrooms cleaned and quartered
1 c rice
2 c water
1 1/2 t salt

I put a paper towel under the lid of the rice cooker during the cycle to increase the steam.

Thank you Neelu & Tashidelek.
Really my mouth watering now

After soaking the rice, if you will roast the rice in a little ghee before you add to the veggies for boiling, it will taste even better
