I did a lot of experiments in my early days of cooking. Sometimes my rice gets mushy or sometimes not cooked well. Sometimes its so salty and sometime I forgot to put salt. After A lot of experiment, I am an the Pulao expert now. And when you don’t have time and no mood to wash a lot of dishes, Pulao is a easiest and quick dish. Pulao could be chicken, mutton or beef.
Tip: If you want to make your rice khaara kharaa, my secret is just to add 1 1/2 cup of water additional from the measurement of rice like: if you are taking 2 cups of rice then Water should be 3 1/2 cup. Your rice will be perfect.
