Pulao or Pulav is a Indian rice
dish made with a combination of rice, masala and one main ingredient like chicken,
vegetables or fish. This particular recipe
has been tried and tested for years together. My mum knows the recipe like the
back of her hand.
The masala used in this dish can
be prepared and refrigerated. It can be used as when needed for the pulav or
any other recipes.
