I love Veg Pulao, I learnt cooking Pulao from my grandma as a teenager.
As I had Butterfly pea flower at home ,so I thought of using it to make Blue Veg Pulao using the dried Butterfly pea flower tea, which has many health benefits.
You can add dried fruits too but I skipped this time.
Apart from the cooking time you need time to wash and soak the rice for at least 30 minutes ,steep the blue tea for at least an hour , cut the veggies etc..
