Vegetable Pulao

Vegetable pulao is a one-pot rice dish prepared by cooking rice with mixed vegetables and spices. This is one of the easiest comfort food to serve for a casual get-together.

I used a little coconut milk for cooking this pulao as it gives an extra flavor to the rice. For mixed vegetables, I used a combination of potato, carrot, and green beans. You can also use cauliflower, green peas, etc.

This vegetable pulao tastes great when served with onion tomato raita.
