The pulao looks good and must be quite flavorful with all those ingredients going in. What caught my attention the most is, use of fennel seeds. I have never used fennel seeds in pulao, so very much interested to try it to see the effect. Will try it today itself 🙂

Made a similar pulav on the weekend but with spring union and potatoes. Your pulav has a lot of whole spices which is awesome.
