Rice with step-by-step photos

Chana Pulao is one of the most popular dishes in Pakistani and Indian cuisine, a tasty and very simple dish. As chana (chickpeas)is rich in protein and fiber, this pulao is very healthy; it also makes a perfect lunch box recipe.

The Kabuli Chana Pulao can be served.d

Kabuli chana pulao is served with mixed vegetables,

raita, salad, and kabab or any type of pickles. Kabuli chana pulao has to be prepared with

Basmati rice and ghee. I mentioned in my previous post that all traditional dishes are prepared with ghee, which enhances their authentic taste. For the rest, if you have any health issues, you can skip ghee from your recipes.

Chana pulao is wholesome and full of rustic flavor. More often than not, I have been cooking chana pulao at home. You must try it once from my recipe; I hope you will love it,
Note: First, cooked chana (chickpeas) will be used. But if you have leftover chana or frozen chana, you can use canned chickpeas too.

Matar Pulao || Peas Pulao || How to Make Matar Pulao with step-by-step photos and video...

Matar Pulao is a great combination of veggies and rice, very simple and easy to make, hardly takes 30 minutes to be fully prepared. This is a traditional, aromatic, and flavoured rice recipe. This mildly flavoured rice dish is known as matar pulao or pea pulao, and it is so easy to make.

The caramelized onions, aromatic spices, and the sweetness from the peas make this bowl of rice taste a little extra special.

Matar Pulao is one such recipe, which I make so often because it goes so well with many of our Pakistani and Indian Recipes, and I love the simplicity of matar pulao and the beauty of a few ingredients that result in such a scrumptious, soul-satisfying meal.

I already have a recipe for making perfect plain white basmati rice on the blog, but I wanted to share this pea pulao with you, too, because the truth is that most of the time, I make this pea pilaf over plain rice. That’s because it’s easy to make, tastes great, and makes a simple meal feel a touch more elaborate.

Really, though, you can serve this pea pulao in any meal where you’d serve plain basmati rice. Serve it with chicken korma or masala mutton, green chilli curry, or bagara baingan; the options are literally endless. So let's begin.

Pulao Rice | Pulao Recipe | How to Make Kuska Rice with Step-by-step Photos.....

Pulao Rice is quite excellent, aromatic, flavored, and tasty. It is prepared with basmati rice, pure ghee, and some whole spices, almonds, and raisins. At the time of simmering, it is sprinkled with fried brown onions and kewra essence. These ingredients make it flavorful and aromatic. This pulao goes well with mutton korma or chicken korma.

Although I made chicken shorba with this pulao, this curry is also good with this pulao.

This pulao rice is my family's version, cooked at events like Eid or any other event. Personally, I like to have it with raita or kabab. By using the same method, variations in pulao can be created, such as adding boiled peas, mutton, or chicken; these ingredients can enhance the taste. You can check out veggie pulao or matar pulao on my blog, so let’s begin.

Tips:

Long-grain basmati rice is an excellent choice for making any type of pulao. Adding almonds, raisins, and cashew nuts will enhance the dish's flavor.

When determining the water-to-rice ratio, it’s important to consider whether the rice has been soaked. Use 1 cup of water for 1 cup of properly soaked rice, or 1½ cups of water for 1 cup of unsoaked rice.

To further elevate the taste, consider adding boiled chicken or mutton. Additionally, cooking the rice in stock will make the pulao even more delicious.
