Tawa pulao as you all know is the popular street food of Mumbai, just made a slight twist to this lip smacking dish with the addition of Cauliflower in abundance.
It's a lovely one pot meal from Maharashtra State and is well received by food lovers across the Country. In this particular version, I have used Cauliflower exclusively. The entire process and the recipe remains authentic. My family simply loves this variation by me along with my close associates and besties as well. There's nothing more to say on this dear people, as it's a very popular and known dish. And the only one last thing I would like to say is to Get, Set and Off You Go! Let's scroll down to the entire recipe right away. Happy Cooking with Zee!

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Heat butter plus oil and add the chopped onion, green chillies and the ginger garlic paste. Saute them for about 2 minutes.
2

Add the tomatoes now along with the pav bhaji masala and the rest of the spices. Saute until absolutely soft and mushy. Add masalas or spices according to your family's preferences. You can always increase or decrease. Mix and leave it on well covered for about 5 minutes.
3

After the tomatoes get cooked, add the green peas and the cauliflower florets. Cover and cook until done. Do not over cook them. Maintain their crunch for a lovely meal. Alternatively you can boil cauliflower and green peas in salted water for about 4-5 minutes and add. Keep stirring in between.
4

After about 5 minutes, add rice to it. Give all a good mix and garnish with chopped coriander leaves before you serve and a dash of lemon juice if desired. If you are using leftover rice, then cover with a lid and allow to get heated for further 5 to 7 minutes before you serve.
5

The beauty of this dish is that you can make use of leftover rice so well. And it's always a good idea not to waste food. However freshly prepared rice can also be used as per your convenience. Enjoy it steaming hot with raita and salad. Yum!

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.
