Vegetable Pulao

Vegetable Pulao is a rice dish prepared by cooking rice with various vegetables and spices. It is a very simple recipe and gets ready in a jiffy. It tastes good by itself or also can be served with raita or gravies.

A few days back, we had some friends over for dinner. I must say that I took the most time in deciding the rice dish.  I wanted to make something without a lot of spice so that the kids would enjoy it too. Also, I had two gravies for the main course, so wanted the rice dish to go with it. Finally, I decided on this recipe of Vegetable Pulao.

Since this is a very simple recipe and tasty too, I am sure I will make it quite often now 🙂
