Vegetable Kashmiri pulao


Kashmiri Pulao

About:

This is a very simple, delicious pulao which is sweet and mildly aromatic with raisins, cashew and vegetables.  Usually it is a fancy pulao with dry nuts and mixed fruits.

Got inspired by Vidya’s Kashmiri Pulao as well Jayeeta’s Vegetable Pulao.  (cooking delight).  As a variation have blended vegetables and nuts using Mediterranean bulgur. The taste was very soothing…

Health Benefits:

Using Bulgur is a great way to add more whole grains in your diet. , Bulgur offers more fiber, protein, minerals, and vitamins. Plus, it’s a low-glycemic grain and boasts a great nutty flavor.
