Beetroot Rice (Beetroot Pulao)
I have learned this recipe from my mom. This was my favorite recipe even then. This is a rich pulao made in desi ghee and with lots of vegetables and dry fruits are added to the pulao.
This pulao itself is a complete dish. Serve curd or raita with this beetroot pulao. Or you can serve this with any curry of your choice. These are good to pack in your tiffin box or kid's tiffin box. I like to make this in the pressure cooker. In instant pot also you can make this beetroot pulao. This is a super-quick meal for busy weekdays.
Well the blend of flavorful whole spices makes the rice delicious. Add as many vegetable to give this rice pulao a healthier twist. This beetroot rice is gluten-free dish. To make this vegan replace the desi ghee with regular vegetable oil.
