Vegetable Pulao – How to make vegetable pulao


Healthy vegetable pulao recipe.


Vegetable pulao is a very easy to make one pot meal. Compared to other rice dishes, pulao is more healthy because we can add lots of vegetables. I have also added soya chunks which makes this dish protein rich. You can also add dry fruits like raisins,nuts,badam etc… Normally in pulao we cook rice along with vegetables and masala. I would like to share some of my healthy rice like
Mint rice | Puthina Rice
Cilantro rice | malliyila rice
Soya chunks biriyani

Soya chunks fried rice
Pineapple fried rice
