Note
All the recipes in Padhuskitchen has been tried and tested in my kitchen several times, so even a novice can try with confidence.
Tips for beginners– If you take 1 cup of rice, salt needed will be approximately 2 tsp. You can taste the water to check salt. If the water is slightly salty, then it will be perfect once the rice is done.
Instead of cooking directly in the cooker, transfer the contents to another vessel and pressure cook for 3 whistles. Do let me know if you have any doubts.
Stay tuned for the brinjal gravy side dish for this pulao , until then it is bye from Padhu of Padhuskitchen.
