    Vegetable Pulav

    Jan 29, 2015 · Leave a Comment

    My 56th recipe, "Vegetable Pulav", another quick, easy and healthy rice entree from my kitchen. This is one of my very fond recipes. It is not because my mom used to prepare it frequently for lunch. It is not because it was made on festival days. Pulav was one dish which I used to taste very rarely. I could just vaguely remember having it a few times. Wondering how it then became a fond recipe ? Pulav was served in the few wedding receptions which I attended in Chennai.

    Veg Pulav would always remind me of a modern Tamil Wedding Reception, with colorful and fragrant flower decorations, pleasant light music playing and a whole bunch of folks dancing around in a joyful mood. So when it was my turn to get married, I made sure that Veg Pulav was one of the special dishes in my Wedding Reception Banquet. A lovely dish and memories to cherish forever 🙂
