Delicious pulao.. this is the way my hubby likes it with minimum spices and yet tasty.
A different and a unique combination. Loved the pulav with simple spices
Pulao looks just perfect, we make this often and enjoy with raita.
Thanks Paarul.
Interesting combo “Spring onion and Corn”. Perfect for lunch with raita or gravy. Never tried this. Will give a try soon. Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks Malini, do give a try, shall wait for your feedback.
Such a flavourful rice, this combo must be very tasty. Would love to eat pickle or raita.
We loved it Jolly, thanks dear.
The pulao looks good and must be quite flavorful with all those ingredients going in. What caught my attention the most is, use of fennel seeds. I have never used fennel seeds in pulao, so very much interested to try it to see the effect. Will try it today itself 🙂
Thanks Ritu, do give a try, we really loved the flavour. Shall wait for your feedback.

Made a similar pulav on the weekend but with spring union and potatoes. Your pulav has a lot of whole spices which is awesome.
Potatoes too must have tasted awesome. I am at times tired of using them. Thanks Avin
