Pulao is a rice-based dish which often also includes ingredients like vegetables and/ or meat. Long-grained rice varieties like Basmati are often used to prepare Pulaos. Sometimes the rice and other ingredients are cooked together in spices and broth, while other times the rice is par boiled and the vegetable and/ or meat are cooked in the spices and the rice is then added and stir-fried with them. Pulaos are often served with raitas and chutneys or pickles.
Pea Pulao is also known as Yellow Rice. It is a great alternative to plain boiled rice and accompaniment for any main course, be it vegetarian or meat-based. This recipe serves 2.
A tasty variation on plain boiled rice, this can be made two ways - by total absorption of water by the rice or by draining the water from it. The latter gets rid of all the starch and is therefore preferred for obvious reasons.
This is a well-loved street food in India! Made from rice and mixed vegetables all stir-fried together on a large griddle-like pan called a Tava, it makes for a delicious and very satisfying meal. You can use almost any vegetable you like for this recipe.
My mother and her mother before her, have cooked Junglee Pulao for years! It is a hodge-podge of all sorts of ingredients, hence the silly name (Junglee means wild or crazy in Hindi) which came about one mealtime when the family was having fun and trying to be creative!
This tasty rice dish is a classic at North Indian meals. It gets its name from the Yakhni (meat stock) it is cooked in. I like to serve Yakhni Pulao with just a simple vegetable raita but you can go all out and add a curry dish too.
This is my Mother-in-law's recipe and I distinctly remember overeating when she made it for me the first time! As tasty as a Biryani (special-ocassion rice and meat or veg dish) but far simpler and quicker to prepare.
Strapped for time and still want to turn out a delicious, hot, cooked meal? Look no further! Chicken Pulao is so easy to make and delicious!
