Kabuli Pulav

Whenever a guest has to come to my home , specially , if the guests are vegetarian..............i have to think about the special menu, because who don't want there guest to be impressed, right? There are many dishes in gravy, but there is not a very special recipe to make rice very special like chicken birayani............what do u think? So , one day when i was making fried rice , i got an idea why not we try making pulav in layers , just like birayani. So , i write it for you........................

Ingredients:-

2 cups boiled rice(basmati long grain)


1 cup boiled vegetables(cauliflower,sliced potato)

2 bread slice( cut into squares & deep fry)

1 cup fruits like ( grapes, pomegranate)

some dry fruits(cashew nuts, raisins)


1 cup beaten yogurt

Very few whole garam masalas( tez patta, cloves, cardamom, black pepper)

1 pinch of saffron( for aroma & colour)

pinch of turmeric powder

1/4 tsp chilli powder


How to make:-

Take one kadhai, put 2 tsp of oil in it .

When the oil is hot, put all the garam masalas in it for few seconds.

Then put the vegetables in it .

Then take one bowl for beaten yogurt & mix dried masalas like( salt, turmeric, chilli powder) in it & mix it well & pour over the vegetables , cover it for 5 min so that vegetables will become tender & then mix the bread.

Now the masala is ready.

Fry some dry fruits & spread after eaach layer.

Take a seperate deep pan, now we have to spread in layers in that pan.One layer of rice& one layer of masala & spread some half cut grapes over it,& a little water of saffron & again repeat the same procedure.

When you are finished making layers spread pomegranate over it for garnishing & cover it so that the aroma of saffron will go in each & every rice.

When you have to serve it , dont mess with layers , with the help of serving spoon take from side by side.
