Tips & Tricks
Soaking the rice helps it cook evenly and prevents it from breaking during cooking.
Use hot water instead of cold water to maintain the cooking temperature and speed up the process.
Adjust the spice levels by increasing or decreasing the number of green chillies and chilli powder.
For added flavor, you can use vegetable stock instead of water.
Serve the pulao with raita, pickle, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
