Sunday Night means Pulao(Rice Pilaf) Night

Just like Friday as Pizza Night .. @ Niwas Sunday Night is Pulao (Rice Pilaf) Night ...not sure how it started but I love Pulao and that too with yogurt is the best combination in this world ...I think every kid in India likes it .. although they might have different sides that they enjoy with ... I know some families enjoy Desi ghee(clarified  butter), some enjoy lentils and yogurt is the most common one I have seen.....The reason I like it the sweetness in peas and spices in lentils and calm and sweet yogurt make a soothing flavour in your mouth ..it's pretty much like sour cream with rice and vegetables in a burrito ...much healthier though :) ...It 's a quick dish and here is the recipe

Ingredients:

Rice 2 cup

Peas 1 cup

Onion 1/2 cup

Garlic 2 cloves

Oild 1 tbsb

Cumin 1/4 tsp

Salt 1/4 tsp

Chili Powder 1/2 tsp

Curry Leave 1

Water 4 cup

Recipe:

Heat oil and fry onion, cumin seeds, garlic and curry leaves

Add chili powder, and fry for another 30 sec

Add peas(or any other vegetable you like) and fry for 1 min

Add rice, salt and water and cover and cook until rice is done

Add coriander when serving rice, serve with plain yogurt or clarrified butter on top of the pulao.

I am off to enjoying Pulao with my hubby ...yup it's Sunday and I enjoy eating my rice pilaf while I watch Celebrity Aprentice :)
