#reststyle - This is a traditional Kashmiri style pulao, loaded with dry fruits and cooked in saffron infused milk. It is a very easy recipe and quite popular in many restaurants. Though it slightly differs from the usual pulao as it has minimum of spices, is slightly towards the sweeter side due to the presence of dry fruits and is non spicy. Few chopped fresh fruits, fried paneer cubes and fried onion may be used to garnish this exotic rich pulao. It can be served along with any veg. / non-veg. side dish or raita.

#GA4#week19#pulaoA pulao is one pot dish of rice and vegetables or/ and protein cooked together with aromatic spices,herbs with ginger , garlic and onion. Veg pulao is the main common aromatic rice dish of our country. Pulao also has lots of variation.

#post20 - This is a traditional Emirati Biryani which is almost similar to the Indian Biryani. It is cooked either with fish, mutton or chicken. This is the former version. I have used King Fish but it can be prepared with the popular Hamour fish too. The only difference is the use of Arabic spice mix / bzar spice and also the use of dried lime that gives a nice flavour to the biryani. Machboos is also popular in other Middle Eastern countries, where they have their own way of preparing it. It is a very easy one-pot meal and a great party recipe too, that can be dished out at short notice. #goldenapron

#reststyle - Mushroom and green peas are a good combination and is a common dish found in most of the restaurants. In fact it is my favourite dish when visiting any restaurant. It is a great side dish with plain steamed rice, jeera rice, pulao, plain biryani, naan, tandoori roti, kulcha or just plain chapati. I sometimes have it with dosa, appam or idiyappam. They taste just great.

It's a one pot meal vegetable nd soya nuggets combine with rice with some spices

Got bored of the same Aloo-Gobi Sabzi (Potato-Cauliflower Curry)? Then try Gobi Musallam, which is the vegetarian version of the shahi Mughlai dish of Murgh Musallam. In this recipe, whole cauliflower is marinated in a yoghurt based sauce and cooked in a smooth & delicately flavoured rich gravy. I gave a twist to the original recipe by adding some bottled pickle masala to give an achari flavour. This exotic dish is very delicious and can be enjoyed with naan, tandoori roti, roomali roti, jeera rice, pulao or plain Biryani. #goldenapron

Chicken Pulao is a popular Pakistani dish made with chicken, aromatic spices, and fragrant Basmati rice. Pulao is known for its rich, aromatic flavours and tender chicken cooked in a flavorful broth called "yakhni," which is then mixed with Basmati rice. It can be a one-pot meal also. I prefer making it in two steps. Yes, it does take around twenty-five minutes more. However, given how much flavour the broth infuses into every bite, that is a minor price to pay.This recipe goes perfect with some raita, Iserved it with simple cumin raita. You can enjoy with any raita of choice. You will need a handful of ingredients to make this pulao and it comes together in less than an hour.

#reststyle - This is a very popular and a delicious Mutton Curry served in many Hyderabadi restaurants. It is often had as a side dish with plain kuska biryani. It also tastes awesome with naan, tandoori roti or steamed rice. In this recipe, Mutton is cooked with chana dal, bottle gourd, potato and eggplants. It tastes both - tangy and spicy. A tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves and red chilli powder in ghee is poured over the final product.

#bandhan - Biryani is universally popular. I gave a twist to the original recipe by adding some bottled garlic pickle masala. This gave the Biryani a slightly different flavour. It turned out simply awesome with a hint of achari taste. Serve this yummy one-pot delicacy with some raita, sliced onion and lemon.

#reststyle - This is a traditional Bengali style Mutton Korma / curry, where I have used large chunks of potatoes, as it is well known, Bengalis love them in each and every dish. And to think of preparing a mutton curry without it, is not easily digestible. Mangsho /Mutton is a very popular sunday menu in almost all Bengali bones and is equally relished in all Bengali restaurants too. Here in this particular version of mine, I added some roasted fresh coconut and fried onion along with the usual ingredients to make the dish more rich and aromat. It is relished either with plain steamed rice, poori or chapati. There is no ham in trying it out with jeera rice, khushka, naan, tandoori roti or any Indian bread. There are obviously many versions to this dish, where yoghurt or poppy seeds are also added according to individual preference.
