Pulao is one of the most famous Indian rice dishes, all over the world.
A pleasant medley of spices, a colourful assortment of veggies and a sprinkling of biryani masala give the rice a wonderful flavour and mouth-feel.
We have made a low-salt, fibre-rich version of this famous dish using brown rice, to make it suitable for those with high blood pressure. Although we have used less of salt, the spices work together effectively to give the rice a very good taste and aroma.
Quite rich in flavour and texture, this Brown Rice Vegetable Pulao is pretty much a one-dish meal and you can just serve it with raita.
