Are you looking to prepare an easy one-pot rice meal loaded with vegetables? Then you are reading the right blog post! 🙂 Vegetable Pulao is a mildly spicy and delicious rice meal containing a mixture of vegetables, whole spices, herbs, and freshly prepared pulao masala that makes this dish so delectable.
Generally, to prepare pulao, regular Sona masuri rice is used. But you could use basmati rice instead of it if you prefer(I prefer basmati rice for pulao because it enhances the taste). And to speed up the process of making pulao, a pressure cooker is used. However, if you wish to use a regular pot, follow the same recipe, but in the end, make sure to cook pulao(lid on) on low heat until done.
