Instructions:

To get started, pour some olive oil into a sauce pan add the chopped onion, garlic, and zucchini. Once done, sauté for about one minute. Pour in the chicken broth after the previous contents have seemingly simmered. Also add the lemon juice. Then put in the other seasonings along with the fresh basil from the list of ingredients.  

The next step is to move into the simmering phase. To make the Zucchini softer, you will have to simmer the entire mix. One way of determining whether your zucchini has simmered is to check if the onion in the mix has turned transparent or not. This entire process will take around thirty to thirty-five minutes.

Add the rice milk with the zucchini once properly cooked. Simmer again for another minute or so and adjust the seasonings to taste.

Prepare the rice as directed.

Instructions:

Wash the rice 2 to 3 times in running water. Soak the rice in water and set aside. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and add in the spices. Fry for 10 seconds. Add in the chopped onions and the sliced green chilies. Add some more green chilies if you want it spicy. Fry for a minute. In the meantime, crush some garlic in a mortar and pestle. You do not want to puree the garlic. We need the garlic in bits. So, absolutely no garlic paste. If you do not have a mortar and pestle, just run the garlic in a small mixing jar (pulse several times) without adding any water. You can even chop the garlic cloves finely and add it to the pan if nothing else works for you. This is where you add in the garlic and fry for a couple of minutes. Puree the tomatoes in a blender / mixing jar and add it to the pan. Add in the salt, chili powder and turmeric. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the tomatoes are cooked and dry. When the tomatoes are cooking, we will make get some rice milk ready. Add in the rice milk to the pan. We need 2 cups of liquid for every cup of rice, so make sure you put in the necessary amount of rice milk to balance it all out.

In the meantime, drain the soaked rice and set aside. Once the liquid in the pan starts to boil, add in the rice. Mix thoroughly, close the lid and put the whistle weight on. Cook for about 5 minutes on light-medium flame. Switch off the flame and wait for the pressure in the cooker to subside on its own. Open the lid and gently fluff up the rice once the pressure subsides.

Serve hot.
