Vegetable pulao


Vegetable Pulao
Pulao is a simple rice dish cooked with spices & herbs. The spices & herbs will give a nice taste, aroma & lift to the dish. This rice can be paired with your choice of dry or gravy curry dish. I used normal rice in this dish, but replacing it with basmati rice will enhance the flavor more for the rice. You can use a pressure cooker or electric cooker in making it. I went with pressure cooker in making this recipe.

  10. Your clicks are tempting me to try this pulao & kurma combo right away. Aloo-peas kurma looks sooooo good. I'm not a big fan of kurma, but your kurma is definitely worth a try.

  14. Thanks for posting amazing recipe. By looking at the combo of the vegetable pulao mouth gets watering. It is very delicious.we can make the veg pulao in a pressure cooker or in a pan. the rice grains have to be separate & yet well cooked in a pulao or biryani.cooking rice can be tricky at times and to get the right texture needs some experience. Rice is a staple diet for most of India. One of the most versatile ingredient, it can be cooked as an entree, mains or a desert.In many cultures, rice is considered to be an auspicious symbol of life and fertility.
