A very easy and yummy dish that is guaranteed to tickle your tastebuds. It's not only yummy but also very easy to prepare. Soya is liked by everyone and almost every other dish can be made with this versatile Vegetarian meat. And in this particular one, I have tried to merge it with Rice to make a beautiful Pulao. It looks ravishing and tastes equally great. Easiest recipe ever, this is sheer awesomeness.
I love to cook this on any given day. It can be done pretty much quickly too. Does not require a lot of ingredients as well. It doesn't even require a lot of Vegetables too. With Onions and Tomatoes, you are almost done.
I always love this one. Flavourful and delicious. It makes my day actually. My family loves it too. And I think that's the most beautiful part of all. Enjoy!

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

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.
