Orange Flavoured Rice Recipe | Orange Juice rice recipe with step wise pictorial and video method.

Indian pulao flavoured with fresh homemade juice and some regular whole spices from the pantry is something you will be keen to cherish any day any time.

The main highlights of the recipe are that it is :

✓Vegan
✓Gluten free
✓One pot meal
✓Instant to cook
✓Perfect for tiffin and
✓Super delicious.

This recipe is a slight twist to regular and routine Indian pulao recipe which is made with water. The use of orange juice takes the taste of pulao to another level.

There were lots of oranges at home which no one was eating. Wasn’t able to understand what to do with them but then suddenly felt why not to try rice with them.

And when googled, we were really surprised to see that there really exists such recipe.

You can enjoy these rice when oranges are in the season.

Having a slight citrus taste like Lemon rice, raw mango rice, Tamarind rice or pineapple rice, these rice goes well with any curry, yoghurt or even as it is without any accompaniment.

As already mentioned, we have used homemade juice, not just because we had lots of oranges but also because the store bought juice/tetra pack must contain sugar and other preservatives, which are fine in case of sweet cooking but not for Savory cooking.

STEP WISE PICTORIAL RECIPE OF ORANGE FLAVOURED RICE RECIPE

1. Firstly wash rice and soak them for 30 minutes.

2. Take oil in pressure cooker.

3. Add cumin seeds, bay leaf, ginger garlic paste, cloves, black cardamom, green cardamoms, cinnamon stick, dry red chilies and green chilies. Saute.

4. Add onion and cook it till onion turns translucent and pink.

5. Then add coriander powder, garam masala and turmeric powder. Mix.

6. Drain water from rice and add rice to pressure cooker.

7. Add orange juice, orange zest and salt.

8. Put a lid on pressure cooker and cook for 2 whistles.

Orange Juice rice are ready. Enjoy hot.

NOTES

1. Add freshly homemade orange Juice and not the store bought from tetra pack because it is having a sugar.
2. If you don’t have exactly 2 cups of orange Juice, no issues. You can mix some portion of water into juice to make it. Like if you have 1.5 cup juice, then add 1/2 cup water or if have 1.25 cup juice, then add 3/4 cup water.
3. Instead of orange juice, you can use kennu juice also, but that will make the pulao more tangy.
4. You may add some veggies also like green peas, potatoes or anything you like.
5. In case you don’t have pressure cooker, you can make the same rice in pan with a lid, but it may take little longer to cook.
