Pulao is my husband’s favourite whether it is chicken, mutton & veggies pulao. I have to make pulao at least thrice a month. Since few months we are so much cautious due to high cholesterol, blood pressure in family . My husband always want me to cook in less oil , salt & chilli. Even we have skip most sugary items and avoid sugar in tea. Well for your health , it should be very important to take care of tour family.
Today I am sharing my pulao recipe which I have cooked in just a tbsp of ghee.

#Tip

If you want to cook in less oil or ghee please must buy nonstick pots & pans. Make your life easier.
