How To Make Veg Fry Pulao / Veg Fry Pulao Recipe / Veg Fry Pilaf Recipe

In english Pulao is termed as Pilaf. My today's recipe of veg fry pulao (pilaf) is a very unique one. It includes frying the vegetables first, saute it in masala (seasoning) and then mix in the cooked rice.

It is again my muma's recipe. she also adds in some biryani masala (seasoning) which enhances its taste and aroma.  she uses it in the powdered form as my brother does'nt like the spices in the bite while eating.

You can use whole spices seasoning, but for that you need to saute it for a couple of minutes in oil till it releases its aroma before adding the onions.
