Suggestions
- You can use refined oil instead of ghee.
- If you like eating spicy, then add 1/4 tsp red chilly powder.
- We need to keep the bowl a little uncovered so that steam escapes.
- If you want to prepare pulao in pressure cooker then heat some ghee in a cooker and splutter some cumin seeds. Then coarsely ground the spices and roast them. After this, add chana dal and rice in pressure cooker and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Now add 2.25 cup of water and close the lid. Now cook until it whistles once.
