3. Pour in the tomato paste and stir well. Keep frying till the oil separates. - Stir in the rice and mix well. Keep frying for a minute or two till each grain of rice is fried well. - Add the vegetables (carrots, peas, beans, potato and cauliflower), yogurt and salt and mix well. - Pour in the hot water and stir to combine all the ingredients well.
4. Bring to boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook till the rice is fully cooked (about 20 minutes) and separate. In case you feel the rice is still uncooked, keep adding hot water in small quantities. - Serve hot with boondi raita, plain cucumber raita or yogurt.
