Very nice mint pulao .Loved the addition of coconut chilly paste to the rice.
ReplyDeleteYummy refreshing pulao for hot summer afternoon ..will go best with some plain curd
ReplyDeleteGreat Recipe. You have not added garlic to the pulav..In our Lucknow side cooking, we used to make yellow rice known as Tehri which was quite similar but the mint was not added.
ReplyDeleteI found mint in the biryanis...
