I find this particular recipe of pulao very relaxing and different. 'Achaar' / pickle itself is a very tasty ingredient. With rice and some veggies it creates a very beautiful dish which takes so little time to cook. If you are looking for easy but unique weeknight dinner, then 'Achaari Pulao' along with some raita and salads should be the one for you. This is a very flexible preparation, you can add any veggies / garbanzo beans or even some chicken pieces to the pulao. Try this easy recipe in your kitchen and enjoy a quick dinner with your loved ones.
