Recipe: Zelda's Cauliflower and Peas Pulau

Last updated on: October 10, 2023 19:38 IST

There are a million types of pulaus one can conjure up. But when guests are suddenly expected, or show up at your doorstep unannounced, I quickly put together my Cauliflower and Peas Pulau.

It's quick to make and is the something extra to add to a simple meal. I choose to add cauliflower as an additional vegetable in the pulau. You could also consider adding a handful of sauteed methi (fenugreek) leaves or tiny fried pieces, about 100 gm, of paneer.

Ghee provides a richer taste, but oil will do just fine too.

Zelda's Cauliflower and Peas Pulau

Serves: 3-4

Ingredients

Method

Zelda's Note: For a Jain version of this pulau, skip the onions and ginger. It will still be plenty flavourful.

Brown rice can be used instead of basmati and will need a little more water and time to cook.
