A very easy and yummy dish that is guaranteed to tickle your tastebuds. It's not only yummy but also very easy to prepare. Potatoes are liked by everyone and almost every other dish is made with this versatile Veggie. And in this particular one, i have tried to merge it with Rice to make Pulao. It looks ravishingly beautiful and tastes equally great. Easiest recipe ever, this is sheer awesomeness.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
