'Pulao' plays a very significant role in Indian cuisine. Our cooking is mostly based upon 'curry' / gravy version which goes best with pulao. Their relationship is like - 'behind every tasty curry, there is a pulao' ... ☺️☺️ You can never underestimate it because sometimes 'pulao' itself can be very rich and attractive like 'yakhni pulao', 'prawn pulao', 'sweet pulao' and so on. Today I am sharing the recipe of 'hara pulao' which is the easiest and tastiest one. I flavoured the rice with a spicy green coriander paste and that's why the taste was damn good ! Try this easy recipe in your kitchen and let me know how it turns out for you.
