Masoor pulao is an easy and delicious one pot meal recipe which requires very little ingredients. Especially during summers we do not feel like cooking or eating a lot. sometimes we do not get vegetables of our choice, at that time this recipe comes handy. The use of masoor gives this dish a really nice flavour and texture. It can be served with mixed vegetable raita, pickle and papad. This can be even packed in kids' lunch boxes as it is very delicious and healthy.
