The list of comfort foods in Indian cuisine is never-ending; for instance, panta bhaat, curd rice, lemon rice, khichdi and many more. However, if there’s one comfort food that we all swear by, it has to be the humble Pulao. Made with rice and a host of other ingredients, this North Indian delicacy needs only 30 mins to get ready. Here we bring you one variation of pulao that we are sure you all would love to try at home. You can even make this recipe at impromptu gatherings, occasions and many such events.
