Vegetable Pulao/ Namkeen Rice

Last Updated on

Vegetable pulao is an all-time favourite of my family. It’s
a north Indian vegetarian rice dish. Vegetable pulao is a complete meal with
lots of vegetable. Here I’m posting a simple method to make a really tasty pulao;
I cook this rice in thick and heavy bottomed vessel with lots of mixed veggies.
You can upgrade this vegetable pulao with your likes or suitability and non-vegetarian
can add meat stuff whatever you like. Serve it with any veg side dish like gravy
or simply enjoy this pulao with raita, papad, chutney or pickle…
Under this recipes or in my mostly rice recipe, I’m always
use Pure Basmati Rice in good quality. Basmati rice is long grain “Indian rice”
with a highly individual aroma and taste, a good choice for all types of
cooking spl in pulao, biryani, steam rice or plain rice. For more detail
