Wash the rice and soak in 1 and 1/2 cup of water for 15 mins. Cut the beetroot into small cubes. Chop the onions and tomato roughly. Peel the skin of the garlic. In a pan add little oil and add in the cubed onions and tomatoes and garlic. Saute till the become nice golden brown. Add the mint leaves and coriander leaves to this and cook for a minute. Switch off the flame. Allow it to cool.
Grind this into a smooth paste. Since it has tomatoes no need to add water. In a pressure cooker, add oil and add in the ground paste. Saute well for few minutes in a low flame. Add red chilli powder and turmeric powder.
Add the beetroot , corn and peas(if adding) and saute well. Add salt to this. Add the rice which we soaked. Do not discard the water. Saute this in a low flame for 5 minutes.
Add 1 and 1/2 water to this and cover the lid of the cooker. Let 1 whistle come. Simmer the flame and let be in low flame for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice once the pressure is released.
Beetroot pulao is ready to serve. Onion raita is the best combo for this pulao.
