Rajasthani Pulao?

Pulao is basically a rice preparation wherein rice is cooked with a number of spices and other main ingredients, depending upon the pulao recipe that is being prepared. Rajasthani pulao combines rice with a number of spices and other ingredients such as gatte; which are gram flour dumplings, ker sangri; that are dried herbs along with fried raisins; garnished with some fried papads. The pulao is flavored with a number of spices, onions, garlic, red chilies, etc. This is absolutely wholesome and flavorsome pulao and can be prepared when no fresh vegetables are available to make any other pulao. The flavors are so well balanced. It has the heat of red chilies, the flavor of spices, the sweetness of raisins, etc. Rajasthani pulao can be served with yogurt or raita of your choice for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients for Rajasthani Pulao

Rice: Aged basmati rice works the best for any pulao recipe. I am not a fan of whole grain as long as the rice is aromatic. Certainly, whole grain rice looks much better presentation-wise, but it is more important that the rice should be flavorsome.

Gatte: Gatte is basically gram flour dumplings. Gatte ki sabji is a very popular preparation from the Rajasthani cuisine. Here you can find how to make gatte.

Ker Sangri: Ker sangri is available at most of the Rajasthani grocers. The same is also available online. Ker sangri is supposed to be soaked for 4-6 hours and thereafter pressure cooked with some water till soft. For instance, in this recipe, ¼ cup of ker sangri mixture has been used. It was soaked for enough time and then pressure cooked with ½ a cup of water till one whistle.

Raisins: A handful of raisins is also added. These balance the flavors of the pulao.

Spices: A number of the whole, as well as powdered spices, are used for the Rajasthani pulao recipe. The whole spices include whole red chilies, bay leaf, star anise, etc.rajasthani pulao

Hi! I am CA Vini Mehta. A Chartered Accountant by profession, a food blogger by passion! First of all, I would like to thank you for stopping by at Viniscookbook, I hope you have a good time. Here, yo...u will find the recipes which have been tried, at times re-tried in my kitchen and relished on the dining table. I am mother of two kids and the wife of a person with a high and selective taste sense, so basically anything, before finding its place on the blog, has many levels to cross and clear. This journey started a couple of years back. Before that I was making the most usual kind of food. The only experiment used to be asking my mother how to make something new or different☺. Then, one day, I tried a recipe for butter cookies. And they did not get to go in the container as they were over before I could store them. That day I was introduced to the joy of experimenting with recipes. And I loved everything else that followed especially garnishing and photographing food. I am still not well versed with the photography dos and don’ts but I love to experiment and learn, be it photography or cooking. Hope you too enjoy this journey as much as I do☺! Stay healthy, stay tuned!.
