Spicy Sprouts Pilaf (Pressure Cooker) image

This spicy rice delicacy is a perfect main dish for when you have lots of other last minute preparations, since rice cooks perfectly in a pressure cooker. Sprouts are easier to digest and abound in protein, calcium, iron as well as vitamin C. Serve with a chilled 'raita' or plain yogurt. This recipe is from www.tarladalal.com.
