Sini said...

Hi,Thanks for the awesome recipe.will surely try it out sometime.But noticed that u havent mentioned when the vegetables need to be added to the rice.Think you need to include that too in th recipe.

sini said...

Valar,
I tried the vegetable pulao recipe.It tasted really good and kind of looked like that in the picture itself .

But sadly the pulao turned out to be white in color,instead of yellowish/reddish as in ur' picture.why is that?I checked all the ingredients and i havent missed anything,but still dont understand why it turned out like that..

hope u could help me in that.thanks..sini

Sini,
Thanks Sini for trying out my recipe. Happy that you liked it. The color is b'cos while boiling vegetables i added turmeric powder to it....thats why the color.
