Bengali Pulao

We make different types of pulao, fried rice etc. But I love this simple flavourful pulao. My mother always made it with rich mutton curry and tomato chutney.

Try this Bengali style pulao with non veg curry or any spicy curry.

Recipe

Rice – 1 glass,  I measured in a glass. 

Ghee/clarified butter – 2-3 tablespoon

Cardamom – 4 broken

Cinnamon – 1 inch piece

Cloves – 3-4

Bay leaf – 1

Cumin seed – 1 tsp

Ginger – 1 inch piece, grated

Cashew nuts and raisins – as much as you wish to add

Water – 1 and 1/2 glass

Salt and sugar to taste

Method

Heat ghee in a pan. Add cumin seeds. Let it crackle. Add bay leaf, cardamom cinnamon and cloves.

Then add the rice. Fry for some time. Stir gently. Add cashew nuts and raisins. Add grated ginger, salt and sugar. Saute for 1 minute more.

Add water and microwave for 12 to 15 minutes. Check after 12 minutes, if its perfect then switch off the microwave. Keep the rice in microwave for  10 – 15 minutes more.

You can pressure cook it too.
Heat ghee or clarified butter in pressure cooker. After frying and mixing all the ingredients close the lid. Switch off the flame after one whistle. And its ready.

Serve hot with any spicy curry.
Or you can enjoy it with dum aalu and a sweet and sour chutney.

    I make a variation of this recipe already but without the nuts and microwave. Your way looks really tasty, but can you add the water and boil on a hob instead?

Recipe Developer Behind The Blog

Hello there!

I am Sujata Roy. A homemaker, a blogger, a passionate cook, a recipe developer, a home baker, and lastly a foodie.

Experimenting in the kitchen is what I love and enjoy doing the most. Specially experimenting with vegetarian dishes and egg-less cakes and cookies is what interests me more.

My loved ones are fond of vegetarian cuisines, so I have them in my mind whenever I dish out a new recipe.

However, I do not limit my experimental cooking to vegetarian recipes only, non-vegetarian recipe ideas are also dished out. And you can also get many healthy recipes in this blog, including different types of baking ideas with healthy ingredients. So enjoy healthy foods without compromising on taste.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy Cooking!
