TAWA PULAO
Tawa Pulao is a famous street food of Mumbai. I have always heard that it is a very easy dish to make. I had Kohinoor Super Silver Basmati Rice in my pantry which I have been tempting to try out, and Tawa Pulao gave me a perfect excuse to use it. Kohinoor Super Basmati rice is a 100% pure & original Pusa basmati variety which gives whitish slender rice with a buttery flavour and subtle aroma, thus making this the perfect rice for the special dish.
This pulao is loaded with veggies and is a healthy option to for quick meal. Unlike other pulao varieties this doesn’t use any spice, but Pav bhaji masala for its flavoring. Mixed vegetables are sautéed in rice base with spicy Pav bhaji masala powder. I have heard from my mumbai friend that it is sold by chat vendors lining on the roadside. You can use a wide range of veggies like cauliflower, beans, potato, capsicum and peas along with tomatoes and onion. Also in place of oil, if you use butter it would taste more exotic. While preparing tawa pulao be sure not to mash the vegetables, but they should retain their natural crunch.
