    Soya Chunks Pulao

    A simple and clean pulao, taste fantastic with any spicy curries or gravies..I made it quite easy, in my opinion, pulao has to be simple without lots of spice powders but it should have a whole lot of flavour from the whole spices.

    I have a quite a few pulao recipe in this blog. Check out my Spicy Aloo Peas Pulao, Peas Pulao and many more..For Non Veg Version, check out my Chicken Pulao & Mutton Pulao
