What is Pulao?

Pulao is an Indian delicacy that is cooked using rice, healthy vegetables, some spices and masalas. Apart from the regular Pulao, there are many different types of Pulao like Tawa Pulao, Veg Pulao, Soya Pulao, Matar Pulao, etc. Oh, not to forget the sweet versions of the Pulao like Zafrani Pulao and Bengali Mishti Pulao. Be it a spicy version or sweet version, raita and pickle are the best accompaniments of Pulao. A piece of papad also is the best accompaniment.

The Pulao is such a dish that can be prepared easily. So, if you had that hectic day at the office and are not in any mood to cook something that takes time, then this is the best recipe for you. Furthermore, apart from being cooked easily, the dish also caters to the health factor. The dish is also best when guests are coming over.

All you need to make Pulao is some of your favourite vegetables, spices, masalas, and finely chopped coriander leaves. Also, it is said that whole spices can make the Pulao tastier. They give an aromatic and unique flavour to the Pulao. Also, the best part is that you can serve with any raita of your choice. There are different types of raitas like boondi raita, cucumber raita, etc.

Don’t have any Kadai or pan; it’s okay! You can use a pressure cooker to make the Pulao. Making Pulao in the pressure cooker also saves a lot of time.

Have you tasted different types of Pulaos like Andhra-style veg Pulao, Kashmiri-style veg Pulao, Bengali-style veg Pulao, etc.? I have tasted them all, and I must say that all of them are worth trying. Oh, also not to forget the White North Indian-style Veg Pulao.

So, don’t wait any longer and make sure that you eat all the mentioned varieties of Pulao and also, the ones that aren’t mentioned.
