Paneer pulav recipe
Cottage cheese pulao recipe


             Pulav is vegetarian main course recipe. It is a party recipe. I often make pulao at home with different types of vegetables to give variety. Its an instant recipe.
             Pulav are very  easy to make.I often make pulao at home on holidays and simply serve it with raita,coriander chutney,or pappad(roasted or deep fried).
                    On occasions also I make pulao(paneer pulao,cauliflower and tomato pulao,mix veg pulao, tahri)and serve it with paneer butter masala,palak paneer,chanadal,dum aloo along with raita,salad,pappad.As for me,being my personal favourite, i can enjoy them without a slightest need of a side dish.
                  There are more combination of pulao recipe you will further find in my blog.I mostly improvise my pulao recipe with combination of different veggies. These veggies are often under estimated by us as we vegetarians had our full focus on the much loved paneer.when i grew with my cooking i learned that even vegetables can taste delecious if we use them smartly. They can equally  enrich  pulaos as our all time favorite paneer can do.
                     I have learnt to make varieties of pulao /biryani from my mother. I could very well remember her cooking for us when we were kids.I still wonder how she cooked these complex recipes with such ease. She was effortless and this quality of hers had inspired not only my cooking but also my nature as a whole.Spices can literally spice up our everyday cooking.I had learned to combine spices from my mother who taught me to come up with exiting and innovative mixes .I keep experimenting with my spices to  enhance the flavour of the meals for my loved ones.They too keeps me motivated with their praises and genuine feedbacks.
