Now add ginger garlic paste. Saute well until the raw smell goes.
Now add chopped veggies, salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and garam masala powder. Mix well and cook the veggies for a minute so that they get coated well in masala.
Now add milk to it and mix well. Finally add soaked rice and water. (I used 11/4 cup water) Mix everything well and check for salt.
Now transfer the mixture to electric rice cooker and cook till done. ( If using pressure cooker cook for 3 whistles).
When the rice looks done allow it to rest for 5 minutes then take it from the sides using spatula and fluff it gently. Serve it hot with raita!
