Nonveg Recipe
May 23, 2020
One of my favorite weekday meal is 'Chicken Pulao' aka Murg Pulao, because it is a one pot meal and takes very little time to cook. This wholesome dish is super tasty and goes best with raita or any type of curry. To make the pulao more healthy you can add add veggies like potatoes, carrots, beans etc. Along with that cashews and raisins can also be added. This is a very good lunch box option for ...

Basonti (or Basanti) Pulao / বাসন্তী পোলাও / Holud Pulao / Mishti Pulao
Veg Recipe
Aug 10, 2018
This is a traditional bengali dish. 'Basanti' means yellow colour. You can also call this Sweet (mishti) Pulao. My mom make this in many gatherings along with Macher Kalia or Mutton Kosha. I have literally no words about the combination. This is the must combination 'he' wants on his birthday. But once we had this with Chicken Dopyaza (already on blog) and that combo was also so good! Give it a tr ...

Zafran which is Saffron is a very expensive and subtle spice. This pulao recipe requires lots of it as we are not using any other overpowering spices.

Achaari Pulao  / Pickled Rice Pilaf
Veg Recipe

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 ...
Hara Pulao / Green Rice Pilaf
Veg Recipe
May 11, 2016
'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 ...
Mutton Pulao / Yakhni Pulao
Nonveg Recipe
Feb 19, 2016
A good Indian maincourse dish is always paired well with various types of pulao or many types of bread. But sometimes pulao itself can become a very rich and heavy dish. Yes, I am talking about 'mutton pulao'. In this recipe, the rice will be cooked with the tasty mutton stock (yakhni). That is why this type of pulao become rich itself. We both are very much fond of 'yakhni pulao'. You just have t ...
Prawn Biriyani / Shrimp Biriyani / Chingrir Pulao
Nonveg Recipe
Feb 24, 2016
This is my first try on 'Prawn Biriyani' and I pretty much nailed it. I have made this biriyani in classic way, everything is cooked by 'dum' and also in sealed vessel. The taste and aroma was phenomenal. The flavour of fresh shrimps and long grain basmati rice gave this dish a unique taste, very much different from chicken / mutton biriyani. We both enjoyed it with chicken curry. You have to try ...

My husband is a craaaazzyyyyy BiriYani lover. So, I thought what could be more exciting than a biriyani treat to him on V day!!!
