How to cook Pulao:

Take a rice cooker and add Basmati rice to it. Add water as you would normally add while making rice. For two cups of rice I have added 4 glasses of water.

Turn the switch on and cover the lid of the cooker.

When it is half done add the fried vegetables, cheese and mix well.

Add the grinded spices to it.

Next add the saffron water and mix well. Be gentle else rice does not break. (saffron is not added directly. Soak it in little water for around half an hour)

Cover and let it cook.

While Basmati rice has its own aroma, spices added will enhance its taste and aroma. Saffron gives it a nice texture along with a beautiful aroma. Saffron will give it a good texture and aroma

When rice gets cooked your Pulao is ready.

Serve it hot along with yoghurt and some nice pickles.
