Recipe Notes

1. You can skip the green peas and make a plain pulao.
2. This pulao goes well with beef, mutton or chicken Xacuti or even Goan sausage chilly fry.
3. You can make the broth by adding one chicken or beef bouillon cube or 2 Maggie cubes in 1 ¾ cups hot water. Adding beef or chicken broth makes the pulao Non-Veg.
4. If you are not using a pressure cooker to cook , then use a utensil with a lid and use 2 cups broth instead of 1 ¾ cups. Cook the pulao on low flame keeping the utensil covered all the time till the broth dries up and the rice is cooked.
