Ground Beef Pulao

Set your pressure cooker to sauté mode and heat the oil.

Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and lightly browned.

Stir in the ginger garlic paste and salt, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the diced tomatoes and cook until they begin to break down.

Add the ground beef to the pot. Break it up with a spoon and cook until fully browned.

Stir in the pulao masala and mix well to combine with the beef.

Add the plain yogurt and stir until it's fully incorporated into the meat mixture.

Add the whole green chilies.

Add the soaked and drained basmati rice to the pot.

Pour in the water and stir gently to combine everything.

Close and seal the pressure cooker lid. Cook on high pressure for 5-6 minutes (or according to your cooker's instructions for rice).

Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.

Open the lid, garnish with fresh cilantro, and gently fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
