Instant vegetable pulao – Kids Special ( step by step photos )

Instant vegetable pulao – An easy lunch box idea for your kids with step by step pictures

Healthy power packed tasty pulao for your little ones.

A quick one pot meal for our kids. Compared to other rice dishes, pulao is more healthy because we can make our kids eat so many vegetables. I used to prepare this pulao once in a week for my son rizu. He likes this colorful rice. Lunchbox session is not yet started at school for him 🙂 . I Need to think more about lunch box ideas from next year on wards. I have added vegetables and fruits in this pulao. You can also add dry fruits like raisins,nuts,badam etc… What makes this pulao so simple is we are using cooked rice and just mixing with veggies. Normally in pulao we cook rice along with vegetables and masala. So if you have cooked rice at home, you can make this pulao anytime. I am sure your kids will love this instant colorful pulao 🙂 .
