Written by Jayashree

Rice variety are tasty and filling. They are ideal to use as a single dish or pair it with other variety of dishes. Pulao is one of the dishes that I make quite often, it’s loved by all and its easy for me to prepare. Green pulao, I have been making this since sometime, it make a good one pot meal.

Green pulao has the combination of mint and coriander along with other spices. I usually serve with onion raita (onion in yoghurt), but it can be paired with cucumber and onion raita too. A gravy based dish will also be ideal for a good meal.
