Made this one pot meal for lunch.
You can call it egg biryani or egg pulao. You can omit egg to make a delicious veg biryani or pulao.
Very easy to make and delicious.
I wanted to add mint and green peas but I haven’t. Added potatoes and French beans. You can add cauliflower, carrot or any other vegetables of your choice.
Everyone loved this aromatic delicious rice.
You can serve this with any raita but I like it with fruit raita with mild sweetness. You can enjoy it without any side dish too
I used 1 tsp ghee or clarified butter with oil but you can cook with only ghee or half ghee half oil.
