This is my second recipe for shahi pulav. This is one of my all time favorite recipe. I first posted it a year back, since it is my fav, i want it to have a clear pictorial recipe. So here i am with a new post with more pictures. You can check out my old recipe here.

This rice dish has a slight sweetish tingle to it. It is a kind of rich recipe. You can make it in different variation, you can add saffron water in it, you can add veggies to it. I will soon post that. So off you go to the recipe.
