Notes

  • To make the best pulao you always have to soak the rice in water for 20 minutes.
  • I have used basmati rice for this recipe you can also use other types of rice that is available in the market. But the basmati rice is the best for this recipe.
  • Use rice and water in a 1:2 ratio i.e. for one of cup rice you have to need two cups of water. If you don't use basmati rice then adjust water according to the quality of rice.
