My favourite….
my all time favorite Pulao Pads!! Super keeper recipe.. i ve a question…. my pulao always becomes mushy when i cook it in the pressure cooker… can you tell me why?
Dear Anusha
Then you cook for 2 whistles and simmer for a few minutes and switch off or try reducing the amount of water.It also depends on the quality of rice.(older rice is better)
Wow ! Looks Amazing..:)..
Delicios,i reduced peas to1/8 cup & added 1/8 cup peeled and 1 " cubes potato,added 1/2 tspn Biryani masala.
Looks so delicious dear…
love to see padhus kitchen come on top of most of my tamil searches.. 🙂 keep rocking.. 🙂 and peas pulav is a fav quick fix for me too…
can we add the masala to cooked rice instead of cooking the rice along with it???
Dear Pinkdrizzler
Since we do not have much gravy or masala for this dish, it is better to cook rice along with peas, mint etc so that the rice will absorb the flavors. You can cook rice separately and mix it but the rice will not have much flavor.
An Indian lady I used to work with used to make this and I loved it. Will give it a try.

Can we use Clove, Cinnamon and Cardamom in powder forms?
You can use but that will be very strong. This pulao is very mildly spiced.
Can i use seeraha samba rice instead of basmathi
Of yes, you can use seeraga sambar rice.
Hi Padhu!
If seeraga sambha rice is used, what should be the quantity of water to be added if the rice quantity is say 1 Cup.?
Add the same amount of water 1 cup -1 3/4. If you find it mushy, reduce it the next time to 1 1/2. You have learn by trial and error as it depends on the quality of rice.
Thanks for posting the recipe. I am trying to prepare a veg pulao recipe where the grains of rice don't end up sticking together. when you say one cup rice what's the quantity in grams?
I cup is 200 grams of rice. Tips to prevent rice from sticking together when making pulao -saute the rice in a tsp of ghee (after soaking and draining the water completely) to prevent the rice from sticking to each other.
Padhu (my culinary life saver), please tell me if I can do this in rice cooker?
Of course, you can.
You explain it in a very simple manner. And taking pains to add pictures at every step is your great idea. I sincerely appreciate it. Almost all my cooking knowledge is from your site. I don't know to use pressure cooker in kitchen. But following yours, I became a professional in kitchen. God bless you. Thank you…
