A very famous South Indian dish. Whenever South Indian food comes to our mind, we just think of Idli, dosa, rasam, sambar vada etc etc. But other than these we really have some declious dishes in South Indian Cusine. This is one of them. It is a complete meal in itself. A spicy and tangy pulao, easy to make a very good options for tiffin. The use of masala may change from region to region. Somewhere they use coconut or coconut milk whereas some a dry masala of coriander, poppyseeds and dried red chiles. Also you can make it with cooked rice or cook the rice in the masala. I have made it with pre cooked rice
