Take another skillet /kadai ,to that add little oil & scramble the egg with little salt & add to the above vegies mixture & mix all together. Drain the water from the soaked rice & allow the water to boil in microwave for abot 6 mins .In the mean time add the soaked rice to the pan & stir all together & close with the lid for about 5 mins .Now add the hot water to this & mix all together well & check for the salt & close the pan with a lid for about 10 to 15 mins in a low flame .Cover & cook till the rice is done .

There is another easy method --We can do this in a pressure cooker also , for that heat the pressure cooker with litter water inside & then transfer the rice vegie mixture/gravy to a bowl (which fits inside ur cooker ) & keep inside the cooker & leave it for 2 whistles & 5 mins in simmer. Garnish it with roasted cashews ,raisins & coriander leaves....Serve hot with any spicy gravy , fry ,raitha.....

Note: Egg is optional .If u don't like it ,no need to add egg .......but give a try with egg it will surely give a extra taste ......

பிரியா சூப்பரான, நல்ல பிரெஷெண்டேஷனுடன் வெஜ் புலாவ்,
